Yes Bank Faces Uncertainty Over AT1 Bond Coupon Payments After Supreme Court Ruling
Yes Bank is unlikely to pay coupons on its additional tier-1 (AT1) bonds this fiscal year despite a Supreme Court ruling overturning their 2020 write-off. Bondholders, citing the court's decision, have sought clarity and urged the trustee to confirm payment status, as coupons due in October remain unpaid and another payment is approaching. The Supreme Court ruled that the write-down lacked legal basis since the final reconstruction scheme omitted the write-down clause, placing authority over such actions with the RBI, not the bank's administrator. The bank plans to seek a review of the ruling amid ongoing investor concerns.
