FAQs

We assist with the entire lifecycle of a Fintech or NBFC venture. This includes Company Incorporation, RBI Registration (NBFC License), Digital Lending Platform compliance, and drafting of loan policies. We also handle post-registration compliance to ensure you remain in good standing with the RBI.

Yes, we provide comprehensive compliance management, including RBI reporting, CKYC registration, FIU-IND registration, and internal audits to ensure your NBFC adheres to the latest Reserve Bank of India regulations.

If you are lending from your own books, yes, you need an NBFC license. However, if your app only acts as a platform to connect borrowers with an existing registered NBFC or Bank, you are classified as a Lending Service Provider (LSP). In this case, you do not need an NBFC license yourself, but you must strictly adhere to the RBI’s Digital Lending Guidelines (DLG), which govern data privacy, cooling-off periods, and grievance redressal.

FLDG is an arrangement where a fintech (LSP) compensates the regulated entity (NBFC/Bank) if the borrower defaults. As per the latest RBI guidelines, FLDG is permitted but capped at 5% of the default loan portfolio. We assist in drafting FLDG agreements that are strictly compliant with these RBI caps to avoid regulatory penalties.

To operate as a Payment Aggregator (handling funds on behalf of merchants), you must obtain authorization from the RBI under the Payment and Settlement Systems Act. Key requirements include:

  • Minimum Net Worth of ₹15 Crores at the time of application (scaling to ₹25 Crores later).
  • Robust IT governance and data security mechanisms.
  • Adherence to merchant onboarding and settlement timelines.

As of the latest RBI Master Directions, the minimum NOF requirement for registering a new Investment and Credit Company (NBFC-ICC) has been raised to ₹10 Crores. However, for specialized categories like P2P Lending platforms or Account Aggregators, the requirement is currently ₹2 Crores. We can help you structure your capital to meet these norms before filing.

The RBI mandates that all directors of an NBFC must clear the “Fit and Proper” test. This involves a due diligence process checking for:

  • Clean criminal and financial track record (no wilful defaults).
  • Relevant experience in finance/banking.
  • Financial solvency.
  • We conduct this due diligence and file the necessary declarations with the RBI on your behalf.

No. P2P lending platforms are regulated as NBFC-P2P. You must obtain a Certificate of Registration (CoR) from the RBI. Unlike standard NBFCs, P2P platforms cannot lend their own funds or hold a credit risk; they can only act as an intermediary. We assist in setting up the required escrow mechanisms and trustee structures mandated for P2P platforms.

All NBFCs (including fintechs) must report borrower data (loans sanctioned, defaults, repayment history) to Credit Information Companies (CICs) like CIBIL, Equifax, Experian, and CRIF Highmark. This reporting must be done on a monthly basis or as specified. Our compliance team handles the technical integration and periodic data submission to all four CICs for you.

Yes. Any NBFC granting loans against equitable mortgages or hypothecation of assets must register the security interest with CERSAI (Central Registry of Securitisation Asset Reconstruction and Security Interest) within 30 days of the transaction. We manage these filings to ensure your legal claim over the collateral is secured.
