Why improved rentings

After the implementation of Yes Bank’s Reconstruction Scheme by the Reserve Bank, the situation of the bank has improved, with the depositors being confident of their money being secured. Under the bank’s reconstruction scheme, the SBI has taken over the bank along with the central government and RBI and the liquidity of the bank has improved.
