The report had claimed that the RBI has given its in-principle approval for up to 51% stake purchase by an appropriate incoming promoter for Yes Bank. This is higher than the 26% promoter-holding limit in the usual course of business under banking rules, it added.
The report also noted that the potential sale could value the country's sixth-largest private bank by assets at approximately $10 billion which could make it the largest acquisition in India's banking sector.
The report also claimed that the RBI recently gave a preliminary nod to Yes Bank and its key shareholders and is still accessing the fit-and-proper status of the bidders. Yes Bank has appointed Citigroup to shortlist suitable promoters, it added.
