Significance of the NBFC licence:

This is a significant development for Jupiter as the company has been expanding its lending operations through partnerships with NBFCs. With the NBFC license, Jupiter will have more control over its lending operations and will be able to offer credit directly from its own books, providing greater flexibility and control over the lending process.

About NBFCs:

NBFCs, or non-banking financial companies, are financial institutions that provide a range of financial services but do not hold a banking license. They are regulated by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) and are subject to certain regulations and restrictions, but they are not allowed to accept demand deposits or issue cheques.
