deposits. Only those NBFCs holding a valid Certificate of Registration with authorisation to accept Public Deposits can accept/hold public
deposits. NBFCs authorised to accept/hold public deposits besides having minimum stipulated Net Owned Fund (NOF) should also comply
with the Directions such as investing part of the funds in liquid assets, maintain reserves, rating etc. issued by the Bank
Procedure to set up a NBFC
Since NBFC is a company, first it has to be incorporated under the Companies Act, 1956. In addition to that, in terms of Section 45-IA of the
RBI Act, 1934, it is mandatory that every NBFC should be registered with RBI to commence or carry on any business of non-banking
financial institution.
However, to obviate dual regulation, certain categories of NBFCs which are regulated by other regulators are exempted from the
requirement of registration with RBI viz. Venture Capital Fund/Merchant Banking companies/Stock broking companies registered with
SEBI, Insurance Company holding a valid Certificate of Registration issued by IRDA, Nidhi companies as notified under Section 620A of the
Companies Act, 1956, Chit companies as defined in clause (b) of Section 2 of the Chit Funds Act, 1982 or Housing Finance Companies
