Dheeraj Wadhawan, one of the promoters of DHFL currently in jail in a case pertaining to alleged fraud connected to Yes Bank, was denied medical bail by a special court which observed he had not paid Rs 24 lakh for police escort provided to him during his long hospitalisation. In his order of July 14, the details of which were made available on Monday, the special CBI judge MG Deshpande noted that the police had to knock the doors of the court to recover this amount. The judge said the illness for which medical bail has been sought doesn't require any long hospitalization or interim bail, adding that the gravity and magnitude of the alleged offence committed by the accused cannot be ignored. In his plea, Wadhwan sought medical bail on the grounds that he has serious heart related medical issues, citing he had suffered a massive heart attack at the age of 38 in January, 2018, which required emergency angioplasty in Switzerland. The court, however, said medical science was more advan

A special CBI court here has denied bail to Pune-based builder Avinash Bhosale in connection with a case pertaining to the Yes Bank-DHFL scam, saying the nation is the victim of cheating and criminal conspiracy. The court said that prima facie Bhosale's involvement in this serious economic offence is deep-rooted. While Special Judge M G Deshpande denied bail to Bhosale on June 23, the detailed order was available on Tuesday. The court said that Yes Bank's money, which is basically public money and the wealth of the nation, was usurped. The bank was cheated by wisely hatching criminal conspiracy by accused persons. Money of Yes Bank is the wealth of the Nation. Nation is victim of this offence of cheating and criminal conspiracy, the court said, declining to give relief to Bhosale. The special judge said that the way the fraud was committed, granting bail to the applicant (Bhosale) is not safe and there is every possibility of spoiling the case by tampering with the evidence and ..

The long-term foreign and local currency bank deposit ratings and foreign currency issuer rating has been affirmed at 'Ba3', with a stable outlook.

Yes Bank is planning to up the ante on marketing and will be spending 30 per cent higher on advertising activities in FY24, a senior official said on Tuesday. Without sharing the amount it will be spending, chief marketing officer Nipun Kaushal said the bank was tactical in its spending in the last two years as it got the house in order after being bailed out by peers.

The bank's retail franchise has achieved a critical scale and it is at an inflection point now, its executive director Rajan Pental said, adding that the profitability will go higher from here. Kaushal said the marketing campaign which it is embarking on from June 20 and which will last till end of the fiscal year with a long tail of digital advertising efforts, is design
