Depositors rushed to ATMs for withdrawing funds from their accounts following the RBI’s move last Thursday to cap the withdrawals at Rs 50,000. While many customers claimed that the bank had not given any prior information about the move, some complained that the ATMs were out of cash.Currently, the RBI has capped Yes Bank withdrawals at Rs 50,000 till April 3 and imposed limits on withdrawals to protect the depositors. During this period, Yes Bank is not allowed without prior permission of the RBI to make payments in excess of Rs. 50,000 to its savings, current or other account holders.
