The Central Bank of the Republic of Argentina modifies the Monthly Accounting Information Regime and Padrón Database instructions, specifically updating Section 44 to reflect technological migration changes. The amendments include renumbering record design fields by removing 'Design Code', 'Entity Code', 'Information Date', and 'Corrective' fields, and adjusting validation controls 01 through 21 while eliminating specific error checks for misreported denomination and corrective fields. Financial entities and Payment Service Providers offering payment accounts are required to submit information corresponding to May 2025, with a deadline of June 23, 2025, using the updated PADRON.TXT file format and validation rules.
