Starting Oct 1, cheque book holders of Allahabad Bank, Oriental Bank, & the United Bank of India need to apply for a new cheque book as soon as possible because their old cheque book will become invalid.
Cheque books of these 3 banks will become invalid because they were merged with larger banks. As part of the merger process, the larger banks are now onboarding customers of the merged banks. For instance, Allahabad Bank was merged with Indian Bank while OBC & UNI banks were merged with Punjab National Bank (PNB).
Updating the customers about the change, PNB has urged the customers of the UNI & OBC banks to issue cheque books with PNB IFSC & MICS details so that they don not face any issues.
“The old cheque book of eOBC & UNI are going to be discontinued from 1-10-2021. Please replace your old cheque book of e-OBC & e-UNI with the PNB cheque book with updated PNB IFSC & MICR,” PNB recently tweeted.
Customers of OBC & UNI banks can issue PNB cheque books via ATM, online banking, official PNB app or by visiting any nearby PNB branch.
Besides PNB, Indian Bank has also urged the customers of Allahabad Bank to issue new cheque books to continue using the important banking facility in October 2021 & afterward. The bank said in a tweet the all the cheques with Allahabad Bank details will become invalid after September 30, 2021.
The Indian Bank tweeted that “Erstwhile Allahabad Bank customers can continue to enjoy a seamless banking experience with Indian Bank by ordering new cheque books as the old ones will no longer be acceptable w.e.f 1st October 2021".
