<h1>RBI Releases New Guidelines for NBFC Registration and Regulation to Ensure Stability and Investor Protection.</h1> The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) issued guidelines for the registration and regulation of Non-Banking Financial Companies (NBFCs) to ensure their healthy growth and integration into the financial system without causing systemic issues. NBFCs, which provide financial services similar to banks but cannot accept demand deposits or offer deposit insurance, must register with the RBI and meet specific financial criteria. The guidelines categorize NBFCs by their liabilities, size, and activities, and outline the registration process, document requirements, and regulatory compliance. The guidelines also address public deposit acceptance, interest rates, and investor protection measures, including the role of the Company Law Board in cases of default.
