June 09, 2025

THE CENTRE MAY not introduce the Banning of Unregulated Lending Activities (BULA) Bill to curb unregulated lending activities by digital lending apps in the upcoming monsoon session of Parliament, as the consultation process is not yet over, sources told FE.

- PRASANTA SAHU

In December 2024, the Centre floated a draft legislation aimed at banning all persons or entities "not authorised by financial sector regulators and not registered under any law" from engaging in the lending business.

The draft law also includes a provision for imprisonment of up to 10 years for violators. The timeline for initial public feedback on the Bill was open until February 2025.
