Yes Bank Chairman Sunil Mehta has said in the bank’s 2019-20 annual report that in addition to the SLF of Rs 50,000 crore extended by RBI, the bank has since then received strong customer liquidity inflows. He said that the bank has, as of date, repaid Rs 35,000 crore of SLF. The balance will be repaid within the timelines set by RBI.

Mehta went on to add that Yes Bank has made significant progress. The bank successfully raised equity funding of Rs 15,000 crore through a follow‑on public offering (FPO) within four months of the restructuring scheme, amid challenging market conditions, towards the end of July, which demonstrates the strong confidence of institutional and retail investors in the bank’s restructuring plan, action taken, future roadmap and professional leadership.
