Worried customers were seen queuing up outside Yes Bank's branches in India earlier this month. The reason? The country's fifth largest private bank suspended its operations and was placed under a 30-day moratorium by the Central Reserve Bank of India. The troubled lender's collapse comes after the fall of another big bank in 2019.
In the last four years, several other cases of fraud have been reported in the wider finance sector. The latest case has worsened fears that India's banks are under stress and not doing terribly well. So should people be worried about the safety of their money?
Are there any safety nets in place? And are there any knock-on effects? We ask how depositors can better divide savings and whether there are any quick fixes to their immediate troubles.
