This financial analysis centers on a specific bond offering, identified by ISIN code INE528G08394, issued by Yes Bank, a significant private sector bank based in India. Yes Bank, established in 2004, quickly grew to become a prominent player in the Indian financial services sector, though it subsequently navigated substantial challenges requiring a major restructuring and capital infusion, which was supported by the Reserve Bank of India and a consortium of other banks, reinforcing its stability and market confidence. This particular bond is denominated in Indian Rupees (INR) and offers an annual interest rate of 9%, reflecting its specific risk-reward profile within the Indian debt market. The total issuance size of this instrument is INR 54,100,000,000, with a minimum purchase amount set at INR 1,000,000, catering to substantial investors. A key characteristic of this bond is its perpetual maturity, implying there is no fixed redemption date for the principal amount, with interest payments structured to occur annually to bondholders. Currently, the bond is observed trading at 100% of its face value in the market, indicating it is priced at par.

t o " BB+" from " D" w hereas CARE cont inued t o rat e it at " B" .
The rationale for upgrading on 24th M arch 2020 and its impact

and t he reconst it ut ion of it s Board, equit y infusion of Rs. 10,000 crore from St at e Bank of India (SBI)

ICRA has upgraded t he rat ings before com plet ion of t he curing period as an except ion, considering

General Points on Valuation
AM FI appoint ed valuat ion agencies generally provide st andard haircut rat es in case of dow ngrade t o
" D" , based on t he m at rix recom mended by AM FI. The valuat ion adjust m ent w ould only reflect s t he
est im at ed realizable price of t he relevant securit ies on t he dat e of valuat ion and does not indicat e any
reduct ion or w rit e-off of t he am ount repayable by t he issuers.
The valuat ion agencies had provided 100% haircut for t he Basel II Low er Tier II Bond (ISIN -
INE528G08246) from 6h M arch 2020 upt o 25th M arch 2020 and revised t he haircut t o 50% w it h effect
from 26th M arch 2020 on account of rat ing upgrade for t he securit y.
SEBI circular dat ed 22nd M arch 2019 provides t hat AM Cs m ay deviat e from t he indicat ive haircut s
and/ or t he valuat ion price for m oney m arket and debt securit ies rat ed below invest m ent grade
provided by t he valuation agencies subject t o t he condit ions t hat rat ionale for deviat ion shall be
disclosed t o t he Board of AM C and Trust ees and display on it s w ebsit e for t he inform at ion t o t he
invest ors, t he rat ionale along w it h inform at ion about t he securit ies valued and such ot her inform at ion
set out in t he circular.
In com pliance w it h t he said requirem ent , w e are providing t he f ollow ing rat ionale and inform at ion
about our valuat ion of t he securit y:
Rationale
1. General 90 day curing period w as ignored by t he rat ing agency.
2. Anot her agency, Brickw ork Rat ings had cont inued t he rat ing as " D" for all similar bonds issued
by Yes Bank. The bond held by Sundaram M F is not rat ed by BWR.
3. In our view , t he quant it y held by t he scheme is very minimal and it w ould be difficult t o sell
t he securit y in t he m arket in t he near fut ure.
4. Though t here are posit ive indicat ors, complet e revival of t he bank and it s abilit y t o meet s it s
com m it m ent could be gauged over t he period of next t hree t o six m ont hs.
In view of t he above fact ors, it w as decided t o cont inue t he 100% hair cut valuat ion of t he securit y.
We w ill cont inue our m onit oring of developm ent s in t he bank.
