RBI Takes Regulatory Actions Regarding NBFCs’ Registration

In a recent announcement, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has made significant regulatory decisions regarding the registration of non-banking finance companies (NBFCs). The RBI has cancelled the registration certificates of four NBFCs and has received voluntary surrender of licenses from 11 other entities for various reasons, including business exit, amalgamation, and non-requirement for registration as per specific criteria.

Cancellation of Registration Certificates

The RBI has cancelled the registration certificates of four NBFCs, two from Telangana, and one each from Kerala and Uttar Pradesh. These entities are prohibited from conducting shadow banking activities as defined under the RBI Act, 1934.

Reasons for Surrender of Licenses

Eleven NBFCs have voluntarily surrendered their registration certificates for various reasons:

  • Exit from NBFC Business: Four NBFCs surrendered their licenses due to their decision to exit the non-banking finance business. These include entities like Sanapala Holdings Private Limited from Andhra Pradesh and Samrudhi Finance and Investments Private Limited from Telangana.
  • Corporate Actions :Three NBFCs ceased operations due to corporate actions such as amalgamation, dissolution, merger, or voluntary strike-off. Entities like Unistar Resources and Trades Pvt Ltd from Kolkata, West Bengal, are among those affected.
  • Non-Requirement for Registration: Four NBFCs surrendered their licenses as they met the criteria prescribed for unregistered Core Investment Companies (CICs) and did not require registration. Entities like Jamshedpur Securities Limited from Jamshedpur, Jharkhand, fall under this category.

These regulatory actions underscore the RBI’s commitment to maintaining the integrity and stability of the financial system by ensuring compliance within the NBFC sector.
