A non-banking financial company (NBFC) is a company registered under the


Companies Act, 1956 and is engaged in the business of loans and advances,
acquisition of shares/stock/bonds/debentures/securities issued by Indian
government or local authority or other securities of like marketable nature,
leasing, hire-purchase, insurance business, chit business, but does not include any
institution whose principal business is that of agriculture activity, industrial
activity, sale/purchase/construction of immovable property.

A non-banking institution which is a company and which has its principal business
of receiving deposits under any scheme or arrangement or any other manner, or
lending in any manner is also a NBFC.

Role of NBFC in growth of INDIAN economy:-

NBFCs (Non Banking Financial Companies) play an important role in promoting


inclusive growth in the country, by catering to the diverse financial needs of bank
excluded customers. Further, NBFCs often take lead role in providing innovative
financial services to Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) most suitable
to their business requirements. NBFCs do play a critical role in participating in the
development of an economy by providing a fillip to transportation, employment
generation, wealth creation, bank credit in rural segments and to support
financially weaker sections of the society. Emergency services like financial
assistance and guidance is also provided to the customers in the matters
pertaining to insurance.

NBFCs are financial intermediaries engaged in the business of accepting deposits


delivering credit and play an important role in channelizing the scarce financial
resources to capital formation. They supplement the role of the banking sector in
meeting the increasing financial needs of the corporate sector, delivering credit to
the unorganized sector and to small local borrowers. However, they do not
include services related to agriculture activity, industrial activity, sale, purchase or
construction of immovable property. In India, despite being different from banks,
NBFC are bound by the Indian banking industry rules and regulations. NBFC
focuses on business related to loans and advances, acquisition of shares, stock,
bonds, debentures, securities issued by government or local authority or other
securities of like marketable nature, leasing, hire-purchase, insurance business,
chit business.

The banking sector would always be the most important sector in the field of
business because of its credibility in supporting manufacturing, infrastructural
development and even being the backbone for the common man's money. But
despite this, the role of NBFCs is critical and their presence in a country would
only boost the economy in the right direction.
