July 10, 2014 20:16

"When was the date of your last period?"It's a question usually reserved for the privacy of a doctor's office, but Canara Bank is apparently no less interested in intimate workings of a woman's body.

Its women applicants were asked to give an account of their menstrual history, date of their last period and whether they were suffering from any breasts- or uterus- related ailments.

According to a TOI report, candidates were also asked if they were pregnant, as pregnancy would be grounds for immediate disqualification.The bank applications were used as a recruitment drive to hire over 1,000 clerical employees across the country, including 300 for Kerala, according to Canara Bank Staff Union Central Committee member and BEFI state Secretary S S Anil Kumar.
