Case Brief
On September 20, 2004, the Reserve Bank of India cancelled the Certificate of Registration of New Line Finance Limited, whose registered office was in Egmore, Chennai. The release says the company had opted to exit the business of a non-banking financial institution. Acting under Section 45IA of the RBI Act, 1934, RBI cancelled the registration certificate, and as a result the company cannot transact NBFC business anymore.
Why RBI Acted
The Reserve Bank of India cancelled the Certificate of Registration granted to New Line Finance Limited, Chennai, under Section 45IA of the RBI Act, 1934. The release states that the company opted to exit the business of a non-banking financial institution, and following cancellation it cannot transact the business of a non-banking financial institution. No monetary penalty is mentioned.
Operating Impact
New Line Finance Limited is barred from carrying on non-banking financial institution business after the cancellation.
