The RBI has referred to the failures of the Yes Bank to raise new funding. This will help to cover the non-performing assets, inaccurate statements of confidence in its ability to receive new funding, and the underreporting of its NPAs as well as many other factors for the yes bank new.

The bank's customers are now limited to withdrawing no more than ₹50,000 (US0) from their Yes bank accounts, except in some exceptional cases including medical cover, emergencies, higher education, and other "obligatory expenses" Like weddings etc.
