Regulatory Milestone Achieved

YES Bank announced on January 6 that it secured approval from the National Securities Depository Limited (NSDL) to transfer its retail demat undertaking to its subsidiary, YES Securities (India). This regulatory nod, granted by NSDL on January 5, is a significant step in the bank's strategy to streamline its operations.

Operational Restructuring Underway

The approval from NSDL allows YES Bank to move its demat services under the retail division to YES Securities. This follows earlier disclosures to exchanges on January 1, where the bank committed to notifying stakeholders once the depository's clearance was obtained. The lender confirmed that the necessary disclosures, compliant with SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015, have been filed with both the National Stock Exchange of India and BSE.

YES Bank stated that all further required steps, including the execution of the business transfer agreement, will be completed promptly. The bank has also made the relevant information available on its website as per listing regulations. This move is intended to house the demat undertaking within its securities arm, enabling greater focus and operational efficiency.

YES Bank shares concluded trading on January 6 at ₹22.84, showing a marginal increase of ₹0.01 or 0.04%.
