Declared temporarily unfit for bank jobs due to overweight

You have informed that there is a medical test conducted by the institution, as part of recruitment process. The fact of medical test must have been informed in the advertisement for recruitment. Medical Tests are conducted to find whether the candidate is suitable for the job or not. The test results might have been against you, in view of your weight. I am of the view that its a good wake up call to you to reduce your weight, which is good for your health and future. While bank is offering a time of 2 months to lose weight, its a good opportunity to take it a challenge and reeduce weight and get the job offered by them, instead of litigating the matter by taking legal recourse, where the matter ultimately is neither here nor there.

You have posted that:

 

----"I have been shortlisted after a subsequent online test and PI, and have undergone medical test. "

Hope you have published list of shortlisted candidates.

 

----"company had sent the confirmation mail to several candidates, but on not receiving the mail I had called up the HR, who confirmed it that I have been declared temporarily unfit on grounds of being overweight."

 

The company has probbaly neither sent any intimation to you in writing...............................nor it has published the names of candidates kept in abeyance......................due to  say medical fitness.

 

----"He had also mentioned it that we would receive a mail within a few days intimating us that we would be given a time of two months within which we have to gain fitness."

 

You may minute the discussion in writing under proepr ackowledgment and remind him/her to send you the communication (email) as pointed to you............................and build some record.
