Supreme Court Concludes Hearing on Yes Bank AT-1 Bond Write-Down Case

Yes Bank announced that the Supreme Court has concluded hearings on the write-down of its Additional Tier-1 (AT-1) bonds and reserved its judgment. The bank stated it does not expect any material financial impact from the ruling, as the write-down complied with contractual terms and RBI guidelines. The bonds, valued at ₹8,415 crore, were written down to zero during the 2020 moratorium and reconstruction of Yes Bank, leading to multiple legal challenges by bondholders.
