Non-Banking Financial Companies (NBFC) are establishments that provide financial services and banking facilities without meeting the legal definition of a Bank. Non-Banking Financial Companies (NBFC) are covered under the Banking regulations laid down by the Reserve Bank of India and provide banking services like loans, credit facilities, TFCs, retirement planning, investing and stocking in money market. However they are restricted from taking any form of deposits from the general public. These organizations play a crucial role in the economy, offering their services in urban as well as rural areas, mostly granting loans allowing for growth of new ventures.
NBFCs also provide a wide range of monetary advices like chit-reserves and advances. Hence it has become a very important part of our nation’s Gross Domestic Product and NBFCs alone count for 12.5% raise in Gross Domestic Product of our country. Most people prefer NBFCs over banks as they find them safe, efficient and quick in assisting with financial requirements. Moreover, there are various loan products available and there is flexibility and transparency in their services.
