Our History
Union Bank Pensioners & Retirees Association Maharashtra State (UBPARA Maharashtra State) was established on 01.12.2013 at Pune. Initially named "Union Bank Pensioners & Retirees Association M.S. (Excluding Mumbai)", it was later amended to the present name. An initial donation of Rs. 25,000/- was given by Late Com. Bhagwan Khirid.
The Association was registered under the Indian Societies Act, 1860 (Regd. No. Maha/965/2018/Pune dated 14.12.2018) and under the Charity Act (Regi. No. F-54577/Pune dated 29.9.2020).
UBPARA Maharashtra State is the first such State Level organization registered as a Society in the entire country (PAN India First). The Association is duly recognized by the bank.
After the merger of erstwhile Corporation Bank & Andhra Bank with Union Bank of India on 01.04.2020, our Association amended the by-laws to admit the employees of these banks as members. As of now, the Association has more than 1000+ members.
