These points provide a comprehensive overview of the RBI’s recent actions against NBFCs, highlighting the reasons and implications of these regulatory measures:
- RBI’s Regulatory Action: The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has cancelled the registration of four Non-Banking Financial Companies (NBFCs) and accepted the surrender of registration from 13 others.
- Affected NBFCs: The four NBFCs whose registrations were cancelled include Bharatpur Investment Ltd, K.S. Finlease Limited, Build Con Finance Limited, and Operating Lease and Hire Purchase Company Limited.
- Voluntary Surrenders: Thirteen NBFCs voluntarily surrendered their registrations due to various reasons such as business exits, mergers, and compliance with Core Investment Company (CIC) regulations.
- Compliance and Stability: This move is part of the RBI’s ongoing efforts to ensure the stability and compliance of the financial sector.
- Geographical Spread: The affected NBFCs are based in various cities including Kolkata, Chennai, and Mumbai.
- Exit from Business: Some NBFCs, like Coimbatore-based Suguna Fincorp Private Limited and Kolkata-based Spam Merchants Pvt. Ltd., exited the Non-Banking Financial Institution (NBFI) sector.
- CIC Compliance: Four Chennai-based NBFCs surrendered their registrations after meeting the criteria for unregistered CICs, which do not require RBI registration2.
- Amalgamation and Dissolution: Seven NBFCs ceased to exist due to reasons like amalgamation, merger, or voluntary strike-off.
- Legal Framework: The cancellations and surrenders are in accordance with Section 45-IA (6) of the Reserve Bank of India Act, 1934.
- Future Implications: This regulatory action underscores the RBI’s commitment to maintaining a robust and compliant financial ecosystem.
