Union Budget 2023-24 + FINANCE Bill, 2023
Non-Banking Financial Company (NBFC) categorization
Section 43B of the Act provides, inter-alia, that any sum payable by the assessee as interest on any loan or borrowing from a Deposit taking Non-Banking Financial Company and Systemically Important Non-Deposit taking Non-Banking Financial Company shall be allowed as deduction on payment basis. It can be allowed on accrual basis if it is actually paid on or before the due date of furnishing the return of income of the relevant previous year.
2. Section 43D of the Act provides, inter-alia, for special provision in case of income of deposit-taking Non-Banking Financial Company and Systemically Important Non-Deposit taking Non-Banking Financial Company. Interest income in relation to certain categories of bad or doubtful debts received by such deposit-taking Non-Banking Financial Company and Systemically Important Non-Deposit taking Non-Banking Financial Company, shall be chargeable to tax in the previous year in which it is credited to its profit and loss account for that year or actually received, whichever is earlier.
3. Section 43B and section 43D of the Act currently use two erstwhile categories of NBFC namely, Deposit taking Non-Banking Financial Company and Systemically Important Non-Deposit taking Non-Banking Financial Company. Such classification for non-banking financial companies is no longer followed by the Reserve Bank of India for the purposes of asset classification.
4. In view of the above, it is proposed to amend section 43B and section 43D of the Act, to substitute the words, “a deposit taking non-banking financial company or systemically important non-deposit taking non-banking financial company”, for the words “such class of non-banking financial companies as may be notified by the Central Government in the Official Gazette in this behalf”.
5. These amendments will take effect from 1st April, 2024 and will accordingly apply to the assessment year 2024-2025 and subsequent assessment years.
