Case Brief

The Reserve Bank of India cancelled the Certificate of Registration of Tamil Nadu Water Investment Company Ltd. on February 3, 2012. The registration, issued under Section 45-IA(6) of the RBI Act, 1934, was cancelled because the company had voluntarily exited from carrying on non-banking financial institution activities. As a result, the company is no longer permitted to transact the business of a non-banking financial institution.

The Reserve Bank of India cancelled Certificate of Registration No. 07.00728 dated June 15, 2002, issued to Tamil Nadu Water Investment Company Ltd. under Section 45-IA(6) of the RBI Act, 1934. The release states that the company had voluntarily exited from carrying on NBFI activities, and following cancellation it cannot transact the business of a non-banking financial institution.
