Reserve Bank of India has imposed a monetary penalty of ₹31.80 lakh on YES Bank for non-compliance with specific Know Your Customer (KYC) requirements identified during a supervisory inspection.
According to the central bank, YES Bank did not implement a system for using the KYC Identifier assigned by the Central KYC Records Registry while establishing account-based relationships with customers.
The regulatory action followed a statutory inspection conducted by the RBI for supervisory evaluation of the bank based on its financial position as of March 31, 2025.
The penalty relates specifically to lapses in complying with certain KYC provisions under the regulatory framework.
In another regulatory action, the RBI also imposed a penalty of ₹1.8 lakh on Hinduja Housing Finance Limited.
The company was penalised for non-compliance with certain directions issued by the central bank related to governance standards.
The latest penalties underline the RBI’s continued focus on strengthening operational controls, governance practices and customer verification mechanisms across the banking and financial services sector.
KYC compliance remains a key supervisory area for the regulator as financial institutions continue expanding digital banking and onboarding operations.
As of 11 May 2026, at 10:03 AM, Yes Bank Ltd share price is trading at ₹22.71 per share, reflecting a decline of 1% from the previous closing price.
The regulatory actions reflect the RBI’s ongoing emphasis on tighter compliance standards and stronger governance practices across India’s financial ecosystem.
