Yes Bank shares falls sharply as RBI censures selective disclosure
Posted on 18th February 2019
Mumbai: Yes Bank Ltd. fell after India’s central bank reprimanded it for selectively revealing a “confidential" report by the regulator that led to a 30 percent surge in the lender’s shares Thursday. The regulator called the disclosure a “deliberate attempt" to mislead the public.

The risk assessment report on Yes Bank prepared by the Reserve Bank of India identified several lapses and regulatory breaches in various areas of functioning, the company said in a stock exchange filing on Friday, citing a letter from the regulator. But a Yes Bank statement on Wednesday had only said the audit found “nil divergences" in an assessment of bad loans for the year to March 2018, which led its shares to jump the most since 2005 the next day.

“Nil divergence is not an achievement to be published and is only compliance with the extant income recognition and asset classification norms," the RBI said in the letter to Yes dated Feb. 15. “The disclosure of just one part of the RAR is viewed by RBI as a deliberate attempt to mislead the public."

Shares of the bank fell more than 8 percent before paring the losses to 4.6 percent, to trade at 208.95 rupees, at 9:34 a.m. in Mumbai on Monday. Yes Bank was the worst performer on 10-member Bankex index, which was little changed.

Yes Bank’s announcement last week that RBI’s audit didn’t find any divergence in soured debt came as a relief for investors after the lender revised bad-loan figures for the fiscal year 2017 marking them four times higher than those previously reported. Following the audit, India’s central bank twice rejected the lender’s request to extend co-founder and former Chief Executive Officer Rana Kapoor’s tenure. Kapoor’s successor Ravneet Singh Gill, who has been heading Deutsche Bank’s India franchise, will take over from March 1.

“There will be some question marks but the key is divergence, the market is focused on financials," said Hatim K Broachwala, an analyst at IDBI Capital Market Services Ltd. “Non compliance at most could lead to a penalty in the range of 10-20 million rupees, which for a bank of Yes Bank’s size is not much."

In 2017, the RBI ordered lenders to come clean in exchange filings if the difference between the soured credit reported in their results and as assessed in subsequent central bank reviews amounted to more than 15 percent. Yes Bank stood out from its peers in the wake of the RBI’s stricter disclosure standards for bad loans introduced in April 2017.

While Yes Bank reported a discrepancy of more than 300 percent in 2017, the difference for Axis Bank Ltd. was 26 percent that year. State Bank of India showed soured debt was about 232 billion rupees ($3.3 billion) higher than what the state-run lender reported for the end of March 2017.

Yes Bank also breached confidentiality rules and violated regulatory guidelines by releasing the information from the risk assessment report, and this could entail further regulatory actions, the RBI said on Friday.
