Supreme Court Overturns Yes Bank's 2020 AT-1 Bond Write-Off, Impacting Capital Ratios
India's Supreme Court overturned Yes Bank's 2020 write-off of Rs 8,415 crore in Additional Tier-1 (AT-1) bonds, ruling that the bank's administrator lacked authority for the action. This decision reinstates the bonds, potentially reducing Yes Bank's Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) capital ratio by about 250 basis points but is not expected to affect its overall Tier 1 capital ratio or credit ratings. The bank is reviewing legal options and assessing financial impacts, while bondholders view the ruling as a win. The case raises broader questions about regulatory authority in bank rescues.
