The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has granted in-principle approval to Japanese financial major Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation (SMBC) to acquire an additional 4.99% stake in Yes Bank, taking its total holding to 24.99%.

- ENS ECONOMIC BUREAU @ Mumbai

SMBC had in May agreed to pick up 20% in the private lender for ₹13,483 crore at ₹21.5 per share. With the latest approval, it can increase its stake but will not be classified as a promoter despite holding nearly a quarter of the bank. The Japanese bank will, however, enjoy full voting rights on its 24.99% equity.
