India's central bank, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), has recently tightened the regulatory requirements for numerous large Non-Banking Financial Companies (NBFCs), including some prominent players. This move is part of the central bank's broader initiative to strengthen the regulatory framework governing NBFCs, recognizing their key role in India's financial sector.
The growth of NBFCs can be attributed to the rising demand for credit in the Indian economy. In recent years, traditional banks have shown sluggish credit growth, resulting in a credit gap. NBFCs have stepped in to fill this void by catering to the financial needs of small and medium-sized enterprises that have historically been underserved by traditional banks.
Unlike traditional banks, NBFCs provide a diverse range of financial services, including loans, advances, and asset finance. They have played a substantial role in driving India's economic growth by focusing on addressing the financial needs of small and medium-sized businesses, entrepreneurs, farmers, and individuals who lack access to traditional banking services.
NBFCs have extended their services to Tier-2, Tier-3, and Tier-4 markets, offering loans to clients through various touchpoints to create a seamless channel experience. Round-the-clock sales and service complement the sector's multi-channel capabilities.
One of the biggest advantages of borrowing from NBFCs is their flexibility in lending practices. In contrast to banks, which have rigid lending guidelines, NBFCs can tailor their lending approaches to meet the specific needs of their clients. This adaptability renders them an attractive choice for individuals seeking more personalized financial services.
