Union Bank of India ran its FY 2026-27 concurrent auditor empanelment once, online, and the round closed on 28 January 2026. The panel is valid up to 31 March 2027, and assignments are allotted as the bank needs them. The conditions below are what the notice text says as published; confirm against the bank's auditor portal.
Facts checked: 9 October 2026. Some listing sites mix up financial years in the body of the notice, so use the bank's own document as the source of record.
Who the notice is for
- Practising firms of Chartered Accountants applying for select branches or units.
- A partnership firm is preferred. A proprietary firm is considered only if no eligible partnership firm exists, and then only if it holds the ICAI concurrent audit certificate, CISA/DISA, NISM DOCE or similar expertise.
- At least one partner must be a CA who has completed the ICAI Certificate Course on Concurrent Audit of Banks.
- The firm needs a qualified information systems auditor (CISA or DISA) with system audit exposure, because the bank's functions are computerised.
- Earlier years' notices also asked for ICAI registration and an RBI Unique Code Number. Confirm that these remain required.

What this means for planning
A round that closed in January for a term ending in March is a reminder that the calendar differs from bank to bank. Union Bank's window falls early in the calendar year. UCO's was in September, and several other public sector banks run between February and July. See the UCO Bank 2026-27 notice and the complete empanelment guide.
Four monthly visits per branch is a real time cost. Count partner days across your existing assignments before you apply for more branches.
