- Union Bank of India will redeem two Basel III Tier-1 bond series after exercising its call options.
- The scheduled payments are due in November and December, subject to the applicable business-day provisions.
- The announcement concerns the bank's capital structure rather than a change to its operating outlook.
Union Bank of India announced on Friday, October 30, 2026, that it had exercised call options on two Basel III-compliant Tier-1 bond series with a combined face amount of 3,500 crore rupees. PSU Connect reported that the bank submitted the intimation to the stock exchanges under India's listing regulations.
Capital action has defined payment dates
The first series carries an 8.70 percent coupon and has a scheduled redemption payment date of November 21, 2026. The second carries an 8.40 percent coupon, with payment scheduled for December 19, 2026.
The record dates are November 7 and December 5, respectively. The report states that payments move to the immediately preceding business day if the relevant call-option date is not a business day, with accrued interest handled under the information memorandum.
What the announcement means
The action will retire existing Tier-1 liabilities rather than announce a new lending initiative or operating target. For investors, the key consideration is how the redemptions fit into the bank's capital-management plans and future funding mix.
Banking services remain broad
Union Bank of India's investor-relations site presents the lender as a full-service bank offering digital banking, fixed deposits, home loans, personal loans, gold loans and vehicle loans. Its customer offering spans retail deposits and lending products alongside broader banking services in India.
