Case Brief
The Reserve Bank of India cancelled the Certificate of Registration of six NBFCs: Thamiraparani Investments Private Limited, Aramusk Infrastructure Investments Limited, Viswapriya Gold Hire Purchase Limited (name changed in MCA records to Viswapriya Finance Limited), Matrix Financial Services Ltd, Unitara Finance Limited, and Well Fin Securities Limited. The action was taken under Section 45-IA(6) of the RBI Act, 1934. Following the cancellation, these companies are not permitted to transact the business of a Non-Banking Financial Institution under Section 45-I(a) of the RBI Act.
Why RBI Acted
The Reserve Bank of India exercised its powers under Section 45-IA(6) of the RBI Act, 1934 to cancel the Certificate of Registration of six companies. The release lists the affected entities and states that, as a result, they shall not transact the business of a Non-Banking Financial Institution as defined in Section 45-I(a) of the RBI Act. This is a licence/registration cancellation affecting their ability to operate as NBFCs.
Operating Impact
These six companies lose the legal ability to operate as NBFCs and must cease NBFC business. Customers and counterparties should no longer rely on them for regulated non-banking financial services, and the restriction is effective from the respective cancellation order dates stated in the release.
