(Reuters) - Yes Bank Ltd said on Tuesday it would seek the Reserve Bank of India's approval to extend CEO Rana Kapoor's term beyond January, arguing that it needs more time to identify and groom a successor.
The RBI said last week Kapoor could serve as CEO of the private-sector lender only until Jan. 31 next year, despite shareholders seeking to extend his term for three years, pending the RBI's approval.
The company also said it would form a committee to help search for its next chief executive officer.
