We demonstrate theoretically that odd-parity multiband superconductors with inversion symmetry host dispersive topological surface states induced solely by interband pairing away from the Fermi surface. The normal state requires to have at least a pair of energy bands with different effective masses. In this regard, spin-orbit coupling is a key ingredient. The topological phase transition occurs between electrons with different quantum numbers at finite excitation energies. Such phase transition happens at direction where the inter- and intraband electron pairings are finite and vanishing at the same time. To capture the underlying physics, we develop a generic theory in the interband representation of Bogoliubov-de Gennes Hamiltonian. We apply our theory to j=3/2 systems and we discuss the pairing channels hosting such surface states.
