Why RBI Acted
The Reserve Bank of India cancelled the Certificate of Registration of 135 companies under Section 45-IA(6) of the RBI Act, 1934. The listed entities span multiple locations, but the release does not provide individual grounds for cancellation for each company. As a result of the cancellation, the affected companies are no longer permitted to carry on the business of a Non-Banking Financial Institution as defined in Section 45-I(a) of the RBI Act, 1934.
Severity Assessment
Cancellation of Certificate of Registration is a licence cancellation action and carries severity 5 regardless of any other factors.
Impact
All 135 listed companies lose their RBI registration to operate as NBFCs and must stop transacting NBFC business. This affects the companies directly and may also impact customers, counterparties, and creditors dealing with them as financial institutions.
