YES BANK reinforces its commitment to work with health authorities and the Government to support communities during COVID-19. Building upon the Bank’s previously announced support to the COVID-19 relief efforts, the Bank has partnered with Akshaya Patra to support its efforts to provide cooked meals to daily wage workers, migrant labourers and the low income & marginalized section affected by the current lockdown.

Towards this, the Bank has enabled redemption of YES BANK Credit and Debit Cards reward points towards contribution to Akshaya Patra’s COVID-19 Relief Feeding Programme. Customers can now redeem their rewards points in denominations of INR 250, INR 500 and INR 1000 on www.yesrewardz.com/ to support three meal packages of 10, 20 and 40 meals, respectively. All Donations are eligible for 50% tax deduction under section 80(G).
