Shares of Yes Bank dropped 54.89%% on Friday, while Nifty50 and Sensex fell by 2.48% and 2.32% respectively on the last trading day of the week, ending the week in the red. This move comes after the RBI imposed a moratorium on Yes Bank and restricted the withdrawal limit to Rs 50,000 per depositor. RBI announced a draft scheme of reconstruction of Yes Bank with SBI and LIC leading an investment consortium to bailout the bank.
From what we know so far,
The good
1/ Your deposits are safe. “I want to assure every depositor’s money is safe, and I’m in constant touch with RBI” – Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman
2/ Just to be absolutely clear, so are your FD’s in Yes bank.
The bad
1/ You can only withdraw Rs 50,000 from your Yes bank account. This will cause some short term pain to depositors.
2/ A large part of UPI infrastructure was dependent on Yes bank. We expect this to be up and running in a few days at most. Startups can and will work round the clock until this is fixed.
3/ If your SIP mandate is linked to a Yes bank account, your SIPs will likely fail till this situation is resolved. Please update your SIP and mandate on Kuvera to another bank, if you can do so.
The ugly
1/ The restructuring involves marking Yes banks perpetual bonds to zero. These are the bonds that were held by credit funds. Most of them have already taken a write-down in NAV to reflect this.
2/ The lack of empathy on how this has been handled so far. RBI and FinMin could have formed a scheme first and then announced it for a smoother transition.
3/ Yes bank stock. It will continue to be volatile. Do you know section 45 of the Banking Regulation? Section 35A of the Act ibid? India’s bankruptcy code? If you don’t, do not touch Yes bank stock with a barge pole.

But the world is ever more interdependent. Stock markets and economies rise and fall together. Confidence is the key to prosperity. Insecurity spreads like contagion. So people crave stability and order.
