This directive establishes mandatory retention periods for documents generated during commercial bank operations in Uzbekistan, categorizing them by organizational level: head offices, regional directorates, and branches. It supersedes the 1994 list and defines specific retention durations ranging from permanent to temporary periods (e.g., 1, 3, 5, or 10 years) for various document types including credit files, cash operations, and foreign exchange records. The document also outlines procedures for calculating retention periods, the role of expert-commission reviews, and the formalization of document destruction protocols.

GUIDELINES on Applying the List of Retention Periods for Documents Generated in Commercial Bank Activities
[Registered by the Ministry of Justice of the Republic of Uzbekistan on June 26, 2000, Registration No. 951]
This guideline is removed from the State Register of Departmental Normative Legal Acts effective August 10, 2021, based on Order No. 11-mh dated May 6, 2021, of the Minister of Justice of the Republic of Uzbekistan "On Removing Certain Departmental Normative Legal Acts from the State Register of Departmental Normative Legal Acts" (Registration No. 3298, 06.05.2021).
1.1. The Guidelines on Applying the List of Retention Periods for Documents Generated in Commercial Bank Activities (hereinafter referred to as the "Guidelines") are developed in accordance with the Laws of the Republic of Uzbekistan "On Archival Affairs," "On the Central Bank of the Republic of Uzbekistan," "On Banks and Banking Activity," and Resolution No. 482 of the Cabinet of Ministers of the Republic of Uzbekistan dated October 30, 1999 "On Approving Normative Documents on Archival Affairs."
1.2. The Guidelines serve as the main normative document for the retention periods of documents generated during banking operations in commercial banks of the Republic of Uzbekistan. Retention periods for other documents submitted to archives are determined at the discretion of the head offices of commercial banks.
The document retention periods specified in these Guidelines are mandatory for all commercial banks of the Republic of Uzbekistan.
1.3. The Guidelines list categories and types of documents rather than providing exact titles for file folders. To create file folder titles, the relevant name of the document and the precise expression of the issue are taken from the Guidelines and supplemented with other necessary elements, namely the author, correspondent, and date. Retention periods are indicated in the nomenclature of file folders and title sheets according to the Guidelines. When forming file folders, it is necessary to separate permanently and temporarily stored documents into separate groups.
1.4. Documents designated as "permanent" in the Guidelines are organized and processed, and along with the relevant scientific-reference apparatus, are submitted to the relevant state archives for permanent storage according to the document list.
1.5. Temporarily stored documents cannot be destroyed before the established retention period expires. In necessary cases, the retention periods of individual file folders may be extended by decision of expert commissions.
1.6. Changing the retention periods for all categories of documents identified or arising after the publication of these Guidelines, as well as establishing retention periods by document type, is implemented in accordance with the decision of the Central Expert Commission of the commercial bank's head office, coordinated with the Central Expert-Inspection Commission of the "Uzarxive" Agency under the Cabinet of Ministers of the Republic of Uzbekistan.
2.1. The list is structured according to the subject-matter principle and consists of sections relevant to the main issues of commercial bank activities.
2.2. In these Guidelines, document retention periods are stratified into two structural parts (columns 3 and 4) depending on the management level in the system of commercial banks of the Republic of Uzbekistan. Column 3 shows retention periods for documents in main commercial banks, column 4 shows retention periods in regional directorates, and column 5 shows retention periods in branches of commercial banks.
2.3. The calculation of document retention periods begins on January 1 of the year following the year in which their file processing was completed.
2.4. The "EKC" (Expert-Inspection Commission) mark in the Guidelines indicates that some part of documents of this type may have scientific-historical and practical significance, and these materials must be reviewed by the relevant commission after the expiration of the retention period.
Documents marked "Until no longer necessary" indicate that they have only limited practical significance, and their retention periods are determined by the commercial banks themselves.
2.5. Sorting of archival documents for storage and destruction must be done page-by-page in file folders. It is not permitted to conduct an expertise on the value of documents based solely on their titles without viewing the documents themselves.
2.6. An act must be formalized for documents designated for destruction. The act must be signed by members of the expert commission and approved by the bank director. If the list of permanently stored documents has not been approved by the relevant archival authority or institution for the corresponding period, and the list of documents for personal staff has not been coordinated, documents included in the act for destruction designated for destruction shall not be destroyed.
Acts for documents and file folders designated for destruction by branches of commercial banks are coordinated with the central expert commission of the head bank.
2.7. Certain categories of documents approved for destruction may be physically shredded by decision of the expert commission of the head bank, while other documents are handed over to organizations producing secondary raw materials. The handover of documents is formalized by a waybill indicating the quantity of file folders and the weight of the set of accepted documents.
2.8. It is prohibited to destroy documents that have not been formalized and coordinated at the required level, as well as to violate the document retention periods established in these Guidelines.
2.9. Guidance and control over the correct application of the requirements of these Guidelines are carried out by the responsible structural unit of the Central Bank established by the management.
2.10. With the publication of these Guidelines, the "List of Retention Periods for Documents of Institutions and Organizations of the Banking System of the Republic of Uzbekistan" dated March 2, 1994, No. 68, loses its force.
