Understanding RBI compliance can be complex. We've compiled answers to the most frequently asked questions to help you navigate RBI regulatory requirements effectively.
These FAQs cover NBFC registration, payment aggregator licensing, forex dealer licenses, and RBI filings.
RBI compliance refers to adherence to regulations, guidelines, and directions issued by the Reserve Bank of India. It includes licensing, prudential norms, periodic filings, and operational guidelines for NBFCs, payment companies, and forex dealers.
NBFC (Non-Banking Financial Company) is a company registered under the Companies Act that engages in lending, investment, or other financial activities. NBFCs must be registered with RBI to operate legally in India.
The minimum Net Owned Fund (NOF) for most NBFCs is ₹10 crore. However, this varies by category - NBFC-P2P requires ₹2 crore, NBFC-MFI requires ₹5 crore. The requirement has been increasing, so verify the latest norms.
NBFC registration typically takes 4-6 months from application submission. The timeline depends on the completeness of application, RBI queries, and overall application load at RBI.
A Payment Aggregator (PA) license from RBI allows entities to collect payments on behalf of merchants. It's mandatory for any company facilitating merchant payments through digital means like UPI, cards, or net banking.
Payment Aggregators need a minimum net worth of ₹15 crore at the time of application, increasing to ₹25 crore by the end of the third year. Existing PAs have been given a transition timeline.
FFMC (Full Fledged Money Changer) license allows businesses to buy and sell foreign currency notes, coins, and travelers cheques. It's required for currency exchange businesses and travel agents offering forex services.
Authorized Dealer (AD) licenses allow entities to deal in forex. AD Category I is for banks and large institutions, while AD Category II is for specific forex transactions. These licenses permit broader forex operations than FFMC.
RBI returns are periodic reports that registered entities must file with RBI. For NBFCs, this includes NBS returns (quarterly), ALM returns (monthly/quarterly), and various other compliance reports depending on the entity type.
RBI penalties can range from ₹1 lakh to ₹25 crore depending on the violation. Operating without a license can lead to imprisonment up to 10 years. License cancellation is also possible for serious violations.
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.
Yes. Both Private Limited and Public Limited companies can apply for NBFC registration. However, the company must be registered under the Companies Act and meet all other eligibility criteria.
The Account Aggregator framework enables consent-based sharing of financial data between Financial Information Providers and Users. AAs are registered as NBFC-AA with RBI and facilitate data sharing securely.
Fair Practice Code is a set of guidelines that NBFCs must follow for fair treatment of customers. It covers loan application procedures, interest rates disclosure, loan recovery practices, and grievance redressal.
FDI up to 100% is permitted under automatic route for most NBFC activities. However, downstream investments and certain activities may require RBI approval. It's advisable to consult experts for specific cases.
NBFC-P2P (Peer to Peer Lending Platform) is an NBFC that provides an online platform for lending between individuals. P2P platforms must be registered as NBFC-P2P with RBI with minimum NOF of ₹2 crore.
If rejected, you can address the reasons for rejection and reapply. RBI usually provides reasons in the rejection letter. IncorpX helps analyze the rejection, rectify issues, and prepare a stronger reapplication.
Yes. Annual statutory audit is mandatory for all NBFCs. Additionally, RBI may conduct direct inspections. Internal audit is also required for NBFCs above certain asset thresholds.
Yes. We help clients prepare for RBI inspections by ensuring all records, returns, and policies are in order. We also assist in responding to inspection observations and implementing corrective measures.
