Mumbai: Yes Bank Ltd on Wednesday said its board will meet on 13 December to consider appointment of a new chairman, two independent directors to replace departing directors, and the CEO search panel’s recommendation to appoint a successor to the current MD and CEO Rana Kapoor. The bank also said that its promoters are seeking a mutual resolution to ensure better support and coordination for outstanding issues.

An independent director at Yes Bank Ltd., a lender that’s been ordered by India’s central bank to replace its chief executive officer, resigned on Monday saying he was concerned about recent events at the company.

“I wasn’t happy with the developments taking place in the recent past and the way it was handled,” R. Chandrashekhar said in a message on WhatsApp, declining to be more specific. The lender’s shares tumbled as much as 6.5 percent on Tuesday, the worst performer on the S&P BSE Sensex index.

The benchmark indices posted their third straight weekly gains, after investor sentiment improved following a sharp drop in crude oil prices.

Stability in the rupee saw foreign institutional investors (FIIs) turn net buyers on all five trading sessions of the week.

Two members of the board of directors at YES Bank have resigned with immediate effect — Ashok Chawla, its non-executive chairman, and Vasant Gujarati.

The bank, fourth largest among private lenders, has appointed Uttam Prakash Agarwal, a chartered accountant, as an independent director in place of Gujarati. The appointment will have to be confirmed at the next shareholder meeting.

Mumbai: Yes Bank Ltd has sought guidance from the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) over former finance secretary Ashok Chawla continuing as non-executive chairman of its board after being named in a corruption chargesheet. This follows the National Stock Exchange of India Ltd (NSE)—also chaired by Chawla—scrutinizing his continuance on similar grounds.

Shares of YES Bank has rebound 11% from its early morning low, but still down 5% at Rs 188 at 10:17 am; on Friday after the private sector lender reported a lower than expected net profit on higher provisioning for bad loans and mark-to-market (MTM) losses in the September quarter (Q2FY19).

The stock slipped 15% to Rs 169 in early morning trade, close to its 52-week low of Rs 166 touched on September 28, 2018, on the BSE in intra-day trade.

If you often use mobile banking and are customers of any of the following banks then you are at risk of cyber fraud. An IT security firm in its report has claimed that the fake apps of State Bank of India, ICICI Bank, Axis Bank, Bank of Baroda (BoB), Yes Bank, Indian Overseas Bank (IOB) and Citi Bank are available on Google Play. The report further claimed that the fake apps have stolen data of many bank customers.

Shares of YES Bank dropped as much as 4.9 per cent in the opening deals on Friday after the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) on Wednesday once again rejected the lender’s request for extending the term of MD & CEO Rana Kapoor, and reaffirmed the February deadline for finding his successor.

Private lender YES Bank is expected to complete the selection process to replace Rana Kapoor as managing director and chief executive officer in another two months. December 15 is a cut-off that the bank has set for itself, a source in the know said.

The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) wants adequate time to vet YES Bank’s choice of Kapoor’s successor, before the new chief can take charge on February 1, 2019. In order to comply with the timeline, the bank plans to send its preferences to RBI for approval around mid-December.
