- Capital-letter handwritten declaration or declaration in a language other than English.
- Incomplete experience certificates missing rank (AEE/EE) or government-organisation details.
- Multiple applications without completing the final RID — only the highest completed RID counts.
- Wrong file format — JPG for photo/signature; PDF for all supporting documents.
- Not informing current employer when serving in government/PSU (undertaking required).
- Applying for lien while still employed — RBI requires resignation, not secondment.
- OBC certificate dated before 01 April 2026 or without valid NCL income-year basis.
