Its gross non-performing assets also shot to 18.87 per cent in December 2019 quarter against 2.10 per cent in the year-ago period.

"Lifting of deposit withdrawal moratorium on March 18 could open flood gates and will require a calibrated approach along with active support/signaling from the RBI/govt/investor banks. The reconstituted bank board too may need more turnaround experts and eminent bankers," according to a report by Emkay Global Financial Services.

As per a research report by JM Financial Institutional Securities, "over the weekend, GoI declared the final restructuring plan for Yes Bank, which also declared its Q3 FY20 financial results.

The restructuring scheme for the bank came into effect on March 13, 2020 and the moratorium on the bank will be lifted at 6 pm on March 18. Yes Bank issued 10 bn equity shares to 8 financial entities."
