Looking to Break Into India’s Lending Market—Without the Long Wait?
India’s credit landscape is rapidly evolving, powered by digital lending, financial inclusion, and strong credit demand. But launching a new NBFC (Non-Banking Financial Company) from scratch is a time-consuming, regulatory-heavy process.
The faster route? Acquire an existing NBFC and start operating from Day One.
✅ Why an NBFC Acquisition Makes Strategic Sense
Buying a registered NBFC gives you immediate access to the lending space—with RBI approval already in place and a functioning framework to build on.
Here’s why entrepreneurs and fintechs are choosing this route:
-
RBI Licensed – Skip the long approval process
-
Fully Operational – Leverage existing infrastructure and team
-
Active Loan Portfolio – Start earning from ongoing lending activity
But keep in mind—NBFC takeovers are tightly regulated by the RBI and involve more than just signing a deal.
⚠️ Critical Aspects to Review Before Acquiring an NBFC
A successful NBFC acquisition starts with detailed evaluation. Here's what you must assess:
-
📊 Capital & Financial Health
Confirm the NBFC meets RBI’s minimum capital norms and financial stability benchmarks. -
📉 Loan Book & Asset Quality
Review the NPA levels, risk exposure, and overall loan performance. -
🏢 Operations & Systems
Inspect the tech stack, lending processes, staff expertise, and governance setup. -
⚖️ Regulatory & Legal Status
Check for any compliance issues, litigation, or past penalties. -
🌐 Brand & Market Standing
Evaluate customer trust, reputation, and market positioning.
🛑 RBI Compliance Is Non-Negotiable
All NBFC takeovers require prior approval from the Reserve Bank of India (RBI). Key steps include:
-
Submitting a formal takeover application to RBI
-
Drafting a compliant MOU and Share Purchase Agreement
-
Publishing public notices in leading newspapers
-
Filing updates with the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA)
-
Proving the “fit and proper” status of the acquirer
Non-compliance or oversight can lead to delays, rejection—or worse—regulatory penalties.
