Revised Regulatory Framework for NBFC

 

4. Requirement of Minimum NOF of Rs. 200 lakh

4.1 NBFCs are required to obtain a Certificate of Registration (CoR) from the

Bank to commence/carry on business of NBFI in terms of Section 45-IA of the RBI

Act, 1934. The said section also prescribes the minimum Net Owned Fund (NOF)

requirement. In terms of Notification No.DNBS.132/CGM(VSNM)-99 dated April

21, 1999, the minimum NOF requirement for new companies applying for grant of

CoR to commence business of an NBFC is stipulated at Rs. 200 lakh. Although

the requirement of minimum NOF at present stands at Rs. 200 lakh, the minimum

NOF for companies that were already in existence before April 21, 1999 was

retained at Rs. 25 lakh. Given the need for strengthening the financial sector and

technology adoption, and in view of the increasing complexities of services offered

by NBFCs, it shall be mandatory for all NBFCs to attain a minimum NOF of Rs.

200 lakh by the end of March 2017, as per the milestones given below:

• Rs. 100 lakh by the end of March 2016

• Rs. 200 lakh by the end of March 2017
