Mumbai: The name of the country’s third largest private sector lender UTI Bank has been officially changed to the Axis Bank Ltd with effect from 30 July.

The Registrar of Companies has issued a fresh certificate of incorporation, the bank has informed the Bombay Stock Exchange, adding that “with this, the name of UTI Bank has been changed to Axis Bank Ltd with effect from 30 July".T

The company’s board had approved the proposal to change its name on 30 April.
