Yes Bank on Thursday said it has received RBI's approval for the continuance of Rana Kapoor as managing director (MD) and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the bank till further notice from the central bank. In June this year, Yes Bank's shareholders had approved the re-appointment of Rana Kapoor as the chief executive and managing director for three years, subject to final approval from the Reserve Bank of India.
The lender had sought permission from the RBI for the reappointment of Kapoor for a period of three years starting September 2018 onward. Earlier this year, RBI denied a three-year extension to Axis Bank CEO Shikha Sharma despite board endorsing her reappointment.
