MUMBAI: State Bank of India (SBINSE -6.30 %) will submit its rescue plan for Yes BankNSE 31.58 % within a week to the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) that will likely entail a maximum investment of Rs 6,000 crore for a 26% stake. The plan may involve a similar amount to be invested by a group of global investors, said people aware of the matter. The RBI is also firming up plans to provide liquidity support of at least Rs 8,000-10,000 crore to stem any flight of deposits once the moratorium on Yes Bank is lifted.
The brunt of corporate governance lapses by the founder-promoter of Yes Bank, and the new management's inability to bring in requisite capital to clean up the books had to be borne by its shareholders.
Matters took a serious turn late last week after the bank's board was superseded by the RBI and a moratorium was imposed. Soon after, the private lender's shares crashed as the SBI was expected to pay a pittance for the rescue operation.
But, since then, the RBI has come up with a reconstruction scheme for Yes Bank’s rescue. With this, will the shares of Yes Bank rise from the ashes?
