As a result, these entities are no longer permitted to transact the business of a Non-Banking Financial Institution as defined under clause (a) of Section 45-I of the RBI Act, 1934.

Operating Impact

Each of the 35 companies is barred from carrying on non-banking financial business going forward. They must cease NBFC operations and cannot legally transact as non-banking financial institutions after the respective cancellation dates stated in the release.
