Crisis-hit private lender Yes Bank, on which Reserve Bank of India (RBI) had imposed a moratorium, will resume full banking services from the day after 6 pm. On Tuesday, administrator of the cash-strapped lender, Prashant Kumar, said that Yes Bank will resume normal operations from 6 pm on March 18 and it has no liquidity problem.
"Our customers will be able to enjoy all the services available before the moratorium. There is absolutely no issue on the liquidity side from Yes Bank. All our ATMs are full of cash," he had said at a press conference.
Kumar had also said there is no need to worry about deposits.
Complete normalcy will be restored. All branches and employees are ready. If there is too much rush of depositors, the bank branches will remain open on weekends as well," he had added.
On March 5, the RBI had imposed a moratorium on Yes Bank, including capping withdrawals to Rs 50,000 per depositor till April 3 in view of its poor financial health due to bad loans.
"Only one-third of our customers have withdrawn Rs 50,000 during the moratorium. The customer feedback is that they do not feel the need to withdraw money from the bank. We have had higher inflows than outflows in the last few days," Kumar had stated.
On March 13, the Union Cabinet approved a reconstruction scheme for Yes Bank as proposed by the RBI.
On March 16, Yes Bank approved the reconstitution plan, appointing Kumar as the Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director.
