"We have been monitoring the situation. Now that RBI has come up with a plan, a resolution will be find at the earliest. I want to asure the depositors and investors that both the RBI and government is looking into the issue. There is no need to panic, their money is safe," Sitharaman said on Friday.

"We have taken a course which will be in everybody's interest. RBI has assured that a resolution will be find as soon as possible," she added.

"The 30 days which we have given is the outer limit. You will see very swift action from the RBI to put in place a scheme to revive Yes Bank," Das said.
