The issue received bids for 8,47,86,84,000 shares against the offer size of 9,09,97,66,899, translating into a subscription of 93 per cent, as per data available with the National Stock Exchange till 7 pm.
An issue is considered successful if it receives a minimum subscription of 90 per cent of its total size.
As per an underwriting agreement, the non-subscribed portion of the FPO would be allotted to SBI Capital Markets, which had agreed to underwrite Rs 3,000 crore worth of shares at a price equal to the lowest end of the price band.
Yes Bank has fixed a price band of Rs 12-13 per share for the FPO, which opened for subscription on July 15.
The bank's capital had fallen below the regulatory mandate and plans to use the proceeds for growth.
The money will suffice the lender for two years.

Earlier, the company had raised nearly Rs 4,100 crore from anchor investors, including from US-based alternative asset manager Tilden Park Capital Management's Bay Tree India Holdings.
