Case brief
RBI imposed a ₹5 lakh penalty on Nido Home Finance Limited for non-compliance with co-lending directions. The company failed to properly disclose co-lending arrangements and obtain explicit upfront customer consent.
Impact
Nido Home Finance Limited must absorb the penalty and address the compliance gaps identified in its co-lending practices. Going forward, it needs to ensure borrower agreements clearly set out the co-lending structure, disclose all arrangement details upfront, and obtain explicit customer consent; the release does not indicate any broader operational restriction on the company.
