Hey Guys,

I want to know, if India has similar provision in corporate Law to start a company in similar lines such as "Business Development Company" in USA. 

Wiki link:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Business_Development_Company

Based on my limited understanding, Indian companies pvt/public Ltd can not work as PE firms unless registered as NBFC. I do have intentions to start a pvt ltd company in the sames lines i.e. line of business is investing in another company or buying equity shares etc..

I understand this fourm seems to be right place to post this query, Kindly help me to understand if it is feasible in India. if yes, what needs to be done...

any info will be useful!!!
