History
UBI was the result of the merger of four Bengali banks in 1950: Comilla Banking Corporation (established in 1914 by Narendra Chandra Dutta, now in Bangladesh), Bengal Central Bank (established by Shri JC Das in 1918), Comilla Union Bank (established in 1918) by Shri Indu Bhushan Dutta (IAS), in 1922) and Hooghly Bank (established 1932 by Shri DN Mukherjee). All four had faced runs after the Nath Bank failure in December 1983.
On 19 July 1969, the Government of India nationalized 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 was established in 1943 in Narang, Gujarat
