Licensing breach

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 30 named companies. The press release states that, as a result, these companies shall not transact the business of a Non-Banking Financial Institution as defined in Section 45-I(a) of the RBI Act, 1934.

Operating Impact

All 30 affected companies lose their registration as NBFCs and must stop carrying on NBFC business. Customers, borrowers, and counterparties should no longer treat them as registered non-banking financial institutions; the restriction applies immediately from the stated cancellation order dates.
