RBI will allow Yes Bank depositors to withdraw more than 50,000 but only in specific cases as per the Finance Ministry Instructions.

Also, RBI Governer ”Shaktikanta Das has assured that there will be a swift action from the central bank to put in place a scheme to revive Yes Bank

The day begins with the frustrations for the Yes Bank depositors, as the 50,000 rs. withdrawal cap rule has been prescribed by the Bank. But for now, the hope of ray is seen for the account holders as the Instruction come-out, that they will be allowed to withdraw more than the limited amount. But few conditions are imposed. Go through the full article, for more ideas about the cases in which you will be allowed to withdraw more than the cap amount.

Following a moratorium placed by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) over the lender’s financial health, Yes Bank account holders cannot withdraw more than 50,000 for a month. The rule applies to anyone who has savings, current or any other deposit account in Yes Bank. Even if you have more than one account in the bank, the total withdrawal limit cannot cross the 50,000 caps.

RBI is allowed to hike withdrawal limit for Yes Bank depositors under the following circumstances:

  • For medical treatment of the depositor or anyone dependent on him/her.
  •  For the cost of higher education of the depositor or any dependents for education in India or even outside India.
  •  To pay obligatory expenses in connection with marriage or other ceremonies of the depositor or his children or of any other dependents.
  •  In connection with any other unavoidable emergency.

The finance ministry has also said that under such unforeseen circumstances, the maximum withdrawal cannot exceed 5 lakh or the actual balance lying to the credit of the account of such depositor, whichever is less.

Yes, Bank account holders who want to apply the above provisions to withdraw more than 50,000 need to wait for a detailed RBI order which specifies the withdrawal rules.
