Negative marking: For each wrong answer in an objective paper, 1/4 of the marks assigned to that question is deducted. Phase II objective questions are of 1 or 2 marks, so the deduction is not a flat 0.25. Descriptive answers are not under this penalty. Quoted from the RBI Services Board Phase-II information handout for General cadre, Panel Year 2026, on rbi.org.in. The Phase-I information handout uses the same rule.
