What it is

From registration to steady-state compliance

A company carrying on the business of a non-banking financial institution must be registered with the Reserve Bank of India and must then meet the RBI's prudential and reporting requirements on an ongoing basis.

We support you from the first eligibility check through registration and into steady-state compliance — so your NBFC stays RBI-compliant as it grows.

*The minimum net owned fund varies by NBFC category and is revised by the RBI from time to time. We confirm the current requirement for your case.

Frequently asked questions

Have a question that isn't here? Ask us directly — we reply within one business day.

What capital is needed to register an NBFC?

The RBI prescribes a minimum net owned fund that depends on the NBFC category, and the requirement has been revised in phases. We confirm the exact current requirement for your category before you begin.

How long does NBFC registration take?

It depends on the completeness of the application and the RBI's review. We prepare a complete file to avoid back-and-forth and follow up on every query.

What ongoing compliance does an NBFC have?

Periodic returns to the RBI, board-approved policies, fit-and-proper checks for directors, prudential norms and the usual Companies Act compliance.

Do you handle approvals for a change in control or management?

Yes — including the RBI's prior approval and the required public notice.
