A Non-Banking Financial Company (NBFC) is a company registered under the Companies Act, 2013 that engages in the business of loans and advances, acquisition of securities, leasing, hire-purchase, insurance business, or chit fund business. NBFCs play a crucial role in India's financial ecosystem by providing credit to underserved segments.
Under Section 45-IA of the RBI Act, 1934, no company can commence or carry on the business of a non-banking financial institution without obtaining a Certificate of Registration (CoR) from the Reserve Bank of India. Operating without an NBFC license is a serious offense punishable with imprisonment and heavy fines.
The RBI has revised the minimum Net Owned Fund (NOF) requirement for NBFCs. Currently, most NBFCs require a minimum NOF of ₹10 crore, though this varies by category. The application is submitted through RBI's COSMOS portal and typically takes 4-6 months for approval.
At IncorpX, we provide comprehensive NBFC Registration Services covering everything from company incorporation to RBI license issuance. Our team of experienced Chartered Accountants (CAs) and Company Secretaries (CSs) has successfully registered over 100 NBFCs across various categories.
What is NBFC Registration?
NBFC Registration is the process of obtaining a Certificate of Registration (CoR) from the Reserve Bank of India to operate as a Non-Banking Financial Company. This license authorizes the company to engage in financial activities like lending, investment, and other specified financial services.
Key aspects of NBFC Registration:
Mandatory Requirement: No company can carry on NBFC business without RBI registration.
Principal Business Criteria: Financial activity must be the principal business (assets > 50% and income > 50%).
Capital Requirement: Minimum NOF of ₹10 crore for most categories.
Regulatory Oversight: Registered NBFCs are subject to RBI's prudential norms and supervision.
Payment System:
NBFCs are not part of the payment and settlement system.
Deposit Insurance:
NBFC deposits are not covered by DICGC insurance.
CRR/SLR:
NBFCs are not required to maintain CRR and SLR.
Important RBI Requirement!
Operating as an NBFC without RBI registration is punishable with imprisonment up to 5 years and a fine up to ₹25 crore. The RBI conducts regular checks and takes strict action against unregistered entities conducting NBFC business.

Post-Registration Compliance for NBFCs:
Once registered, NBFCs must maintain ongoing compliance with RBI. Here are the key requirements:
Starting an NBFC involves multiple regulatory requirements. We've compiled answers to the most frequently asked questions to help you understand the NBFC registration process.
These FAQs cover eligibility, capital requirements, timelines, and compliance requirements for NBFCs.
NBFC (Non-Banking Financial Company) is a company registered under the Companies Act that engages in the business of loans, advances, acquisition of securities, leasing, hire-purchase, or insurance business. NBFCs must be registered with RBI to operate legally.
The minimum Net Owned Fund (NOF) varies by category:
NBFC-ICC: ₹10 crore
NBFC-MFI: ₹5 crore (₹7 crore in North-East)
NBFC-P2P: ₹2 crore
NBFC-AA: ₹2 crore
HFC: ₹25 crore
NBFC registration typically takes 4-6 months from application submission to license issuance. The timeline depends on completeness of application, RBI's query response time, and overall application load.
Yes. Both Private Limited and Public Limited companies can apply for NBFC registration. The company must be incorporated under the Companies Act with objects clause permitting NBFC activities.
Net Owned Fund (NOF) is the paid-up equity capital plus free reserves, minus accumulated losses, deferred revenue expenditure, and intangible assets. It's the key capital metric for NBFC registration and ongoing compliance.
NBFC-ICC (Investment and Credit Company) is the most common NBFC category. It can engage in lending (loans, advances, asset finance) and investment in securities. Minimum NOF requirement is ₹10 crore.
NBFC-MFI (Micro Finance Institution) is an NBFC that provides microfinance loans to low-income borrowers. At least 85% of its net assets must be "qualifying assets" (small loans to low-income borrowers).
Operating as an NBFC without RBI registration is punishable with imprisonment up to 5 years and fine up to ₹25 crore. RBI actively monitors and takes action against illegal NBFCs.
Only select NBFCs with specific RBI approval can accept public deposits. Most new NBFCs are registered as NBFC-ND (Non-Deposit) and cannot accept public deposits. They can only borrow from banks and FIs.
COSMOS (Centralized Information Management System) is RBI's online portal for NBFC registration and supervision. All NBFC applications, returns, and compliance filings are submitted through this portal.
Directors must meet the fit and proper criteria. They should have clean CIBIL records, no criminal cases, relevant experience, and must not be directors on the boards of too many companies. Detailed declarations are required.
Fair Practice Code is a mandatory policy that NBFCs must adopt. It covers loan application procedures, interest rate disclosure, loan recovery practices, and grievance redressal mechanism as per RBI guidelines.
Yes, foreign nationals can be directors in an NBFC, subject to FDI norms. However, at least one director should be resident in India. FDI up to 100% is permitted in most NBFC categories under automatic route.
If rejected, you can address the reasons for rejection and reapply after a cooling-off period. RBI usually provides detailed reasons. IncorpX helps analyze rejections and prepare stronger reapplications.
CRAR (Capital to Risk-weighted Assets Ratio) is a capital adequacy measure for NBFCs. Most NBFCs must maintain minimum CRAR of 15%. It ensures NBFCs have adequate capital for their risk exposure.
Yes. An existing company can convert to NBFC by amending its objects clause, infusing required capital, and applying for RBI registration. The company should not have been engaged in non-financial activities previously.
RBI charges an application fee of ₹10,000 for NBFC registration. This is non-refundable and must be paid at the time of application submission through the COSMOS portal.
Yes. All NBFCs must undergo annual statutory audit by a Chartered Accountant. The auditor must certify compliance with RBI norms. Internal audit is also mandatory for NBFCs above certain thresholds.
IncorpX's NBFC registration package starts at ₹49,999 (excluding government fees and capital). This includes complete application support, documentation, RBI liaison, and query handling till license issuance.
