On 30 March 2009, the Indian government approved the restructuring of United Bank of India.[3] The government proposed to invest 2.5 billion rupees in shares by 31 March and another 5.50 billion in the next fiscal year in Tier-I capital instruments.

History


UBI was the result of the merger in 1950 of four Bengali banks: Comilla Banking Corporation (founded by Narendra Chandra Dutta in 1914 in what is now Bangladesh), Bengal Central Bank (founded by Sri J.C. Das in 1918), Comilla Union Bank (founded by Shri Indu Bhusan Dutta (IAS), in 1922) and Hooghly Bank (founded by Sri D.N. Mukherjeee 1932). All four had suffered runs in December 1950 after the failure of the Nath Bank. The Reserve Bank of India assisted the banks in amalgamating to form United Bank of India.


In 1961, UBI merged with Cuttack Bank (est. 6 June 1913) and Tezpur Industrial Bank (est. 6 June 1918, as the first commercial bank in Assam province). Four years later, in 1965, the Government of Pakistan took over the bank's branches in Pakistan.


On 19 July 1969, the Government of India nationalised UBI, along with 13 other major Indian commercial banks. At the time of nationalisation UBI had only 174 branches. In 1973, UBI acquired Hindustan Mercantile Bank (est. 1944). In 1976, UBI acquired Narang Bank of India, which had been established in 1943 in Narang, Gujarat.

2009 National Award under Prime Minister Employment Guarantee Programme in north east zone from the Ministry of MSME, Government of India


Controversy over Non-performing Assets (NPAs)


In February 2014, an RBI-appointed forensic audit by Deloitte found serious lapses in the Non-performing asset detection system of the bank.[4] It is yet to be established whether this oversight on the part of the bank was deliberate or unintentional.


The bank has reported a loss of Rs. 1,238 crore during Q3 of the 2013-14 fiscal year, resulting in a downgrade of its tier-II bonds by ICRA, an associate of Moody's Investor Service.[5] United Bank of India's reported NPA of 10.82% is the highest in percentage among listed banks in India.[6]
