"During Q4 FY26, in alignment with some of the evolving conservative provisioning practices, the bank has proactively strengthened standard asset provisioning coverage by making a one-time provision of Rs 341 crores," the bank said in its exchange filing.

"This does not reflect any deterioration in asset quality, impairment, or adverse credit development witin the portfolio," YES Bank added.

Vinay M. Tonse, Managing Director & CEO of YES Bank, said, "YES BANK concluded FY26 on a strong footing, delivering a Q4 RoA of 1.0% in line with our guidance, supported by a 20 bps improvement in NIMs, an improvement in cost to income ratio and the lowest GNPA and NNPA levels since FY20."

“Business momentum continued to strengthen, with broad-based growth across advances and deposits, underpinned by a robust CASA-led deposit engine that contributed to lower Cost of Deposits," Tonse added.
