Current Context: The Reserve Bank of India has extended a special liquidity window of Rs 50,000 crore by another three months to the private sector Yes bank.
- The decision was taken in order to avoid a shortfall in deposits to be faced by the bank.
- Therefore, now the Yes Bank can access Rs 50,000 crore liquidity window if the outflow of deposits exceeds the accretion of fresh deposits.
- Initially, Yes Bank was provided with special liquidity window in the month of March for three months, which ended in June.
- The RBI has made emergency credit line of nearly Rs 600 billion available when Yes Bank was under a moratorium that restricted deposit withdrawal at Rs 50,000 crore.
- Therefore now this extension allowed by RBI on Yes bank will help Yes Bank to meet regulatory requirement and fund its growth.
