What happened

Well supportedReported by 3 independent outlets

The Supreme Court struck down Yes Bank's appeal regarding the write-off of Rs 8,415 crore in Additional Tier-1 (AT-1) bonds on October 15, 2026. The Court upheld the Bombay High Court’s finding that the bank’s administrator lacked the authority to write down the bonds, stating that the power rested with the Reserve Bank of India (RBI). As a result, Yes Bank must now recognize obligations, including coupon payments at 9.5% and 9%.
