Supreme Court Upholds Bombay HC Ruling Quashing Yes Bank's Rs 8,415 Crore AT1 Bond Write-Off
The Supreme Court upheld the Bombay High Court's ruling that invalidated Yes Bank's Rs 8,415 crore write-off of Additional Tier-1 (AT1) bonds during its 2020 reconstruction. The court found that the bank's administrator lacked authority to cancel the bonds without explicit provision in the reconstruction scheme. This decision restores bondholders' claims and has led to a sharp decline in Yes Bank's share price. The bank is reviewing the judgment's implications and will make necessary disclosures. The ruling clarifies legal procedures for AT1 bond write-offs amid financial distress.
