All India UCO Bank Officers' Federation Members' Welfare Fund, shortly known as AIUCBOF Members' Welfare Fund, rare of its kind in the Banking Industry, was launched in the 4th Biennial Conference of All India UCO Bank Officers Federation (AIUCBOF) held at Hyderabad from 28th to 30th November, 1982 for the benefit of Officer members and their families.

In the 4th Triennial Conference of AIUCBOF held on 15"'and 16 October 2000, the delegates felt the necessity to provide more stress on Welfare and charitable activities and passed a Resolution authorizing AIUCBOF to form a Trust named AIUCBOF Welfare & Benevolent Trust and to take over all the Assets and Liabilities of AIUCBOF Members' Welfare Fund. It was resolved that while the Trust will have similar aims and objectives like AIUCBOF Members' Welfare Fund, it would expand the ambit of its welfare activities depending on resources and also participate in social welfare and charitable activities.

According to the above desire of the delegates, and the Resolution passed in the extended Secretariat Meeting of AIUCBOF held at Nagpur on 26/08/2002, AIUCBOF Welfare & Benevolent Trust was formed with effect from 01/10/2002 with AIUCBOF being the settlers. The Trust took over the entire assets and liabilities of erstwhile AIUCBOF Members' Welfare Fund and started functioning as a Trust. Com. President, Senior Vice- President and General Secretary, the three Principal Office Bearers of the Federation, three Office Bearers of erstwhile Welfare Fund and three other Office Bearers of the Federation from three parts of the country were selected as the Life-Trustees in the said Secretariat Meeting. It was ensured that the Life-Trustees should have a blend of senior and younger generation leadership.

In terms of Trust Deed, there is provision for maximum number of nine Life-Trustees so appointed by the Settler i.e. AIUCBOF and a maximum number of fourteen Trustees other than Life-Trustees to be nominated for every two years by the Life-Trustees from the members of the Trust.
