What the stored rules flag

Taken from the preset that was checked. This is not a portal error message, and it is not acceptance.

Published sizes disagreed. We checked the notification.Resolved against the notice. The CHSL 2026 notice (8 September 2026) confirms the SSC-wide rule: no photograph upload — the portal captures it — and a signature of 10 to 20 KB. Note that the notice disagrees with itself on the size: the main body (page 12) and page 35 both say about 6.0 cm × 2.0 cm, while the Annexure on page 53 says 4.0 cm × 2.0 cm. The 10–20 KB band is identical in all three, so work to that; at 6.0 × 2.0 cm a 3:1 crop is the safer reading.

Questions

What should I line up before uploading for SSC CHSL?
The checklist on this page: size, file size, format and background for each upload the preset stores, including a thumb impression or declaration where the preset has one. It cites the notice that was checked and links into the resizer with that preset loaded.
Were these specs checked against the notice?
Yes. They were checked on 2026-09-20, page 12. The date and the notification link are on this page.
Does a file that matches this list get accepted?
No. The list is the bands that were checked. A blurred photograph, a background the notice did not ask for, or a signature in the wrong hand can still be refused. Make the file in the resizer, then compare it with your own notice.
