Non-Banking Finance
Companies – NBFCs
Introduction:
NBFCs are doing functions akin to that of banks; however there are a few
differences:
(ii) An NBFC is not a part of the payment and settlement system and as
such an NBFC cannot issue cheques drawn on itself; and
The working and operations of NBFCs are regulated by the Reserve Bank of
India (RBI) within the framework of the Reserve Bank of India Act, 1934
(Chapter III B) and the directions issued by it under the Act. Under the Act,
it is mandatory for a NBFC to get itself registered with the RBI as a deposit
taking company. This registration authorises it to conduct its business as an
NBFC. For the registration with the RBI, a company incorporated under the
Companies Act, 1956 and desirous of commencing business of non-banking
financial institution, should have a minimum net owned fund (NOF) of Rs
25 lakh (raised to Rs 200 lakh w.e.f April 21, 1999).
The Reserve Bank of Bank of India has separate department to deal with
the NBFCs. It was originally called the department of non-banking
companies. Now, it is referred to as Department of Financial Companies.
The main objective of this Department is to exercise some control over the
NBFIs by collecting data, issuing directions and inspecting them wherever
necessary.
Functions of the Department :-
The main functions of the Department of Financial companies are as
follows
To identify non-bank financial companies and classify them.
To deal strictly with those companies who do not follow rules and
regulations issued by the RBI
Types of NBFCs registered with RBI:
Originally, NBFCs registered with RBI were classified as:
NBFCs cannot offer interest rates higher than the ceiling rate
prescribed by RBI from time to time. The present ceiling is 12.5 per
cent per annum.
NBFC shall get the NBFC incorporated under the Companies Ordinance
1984 as a public company.
c. After incorporation under the Companies Ordinance 1984, the directors
NBFC.
2. After incorporation, NBFC needs license from the Commission to
executive, chairman or any officer from the office of the company for
a period upto 3 years.
5. The Commission may require the company to furnish any particulars
14. In the recent past, the role of credit rating agencies in assessing
the debt servicing capacity of NBFCs has assumed much
importance. The agencies which have since come out of their
infancy are required to establish themselves with more credible
assessment of their clients. This would go a long-way in enabling
the investors and the regulators to place more reliance on the credit
rating.
15. Finally, I may also call upon the investors/depositors to be
more cautious while placing their deposits especially with those
companies which offer very high rates of interest. They should
note that the dictum of high interest co-exist with high risk is
equally true in case of NBFCs also.
