Non-Banking Financial Companies or NBFC’s are registered under the Companies Act, 2013 and are governed by the RBI. The activities of the NBFCs are similar to that of a bank but not precisely the same. NBFC’s do not perform the primary action of a bank which is accepting deposits from the public. NBFC’s are engaged in providing financial services such as disbursement of loans and advances, acquisition of shares or bonds, etc. NBFCs contribute to the growth of the Indian economy by providing alternatives for transforming savings into investments. According to section 45-I (c) of the RBI Act, a Non – Banking Company which carries on the business as a financial institution will be an NBFC. NBFC registration is done according to the Companies Act 2013 and RBI Act, 1934.
Finance Minister, Nirmala Sitharaman in an aim to address the ailing Non-Banking Financial Corporations or NBFC’S in her budget 2020 speech had proposed a reduction in the limit for eligibility for debt recovery for NBFC’S. This proposal is a saving grace to the NBFC’s as it will ease the ability of NBFC’S to recover loans from borrowers. The asset-wise eligibility criteria to be admitted under the debt recovery process have been reduced.

Y.S Chakravarti, Managing Director at Shriram City Union Finance said that the reason for NBFC’s not opting for the SARFAESI route lies in the administrative roadblocks in bringing such cases to a successful, time-bound closure. In the past NBFC’s have preferred to either arrived at a settlement with all the defaulting borrowers or by taking the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) route for recovery of the loan. The delay in recovering dues acts as a significant hindrance to NBFC’s contemplating action through the SARFAESI path. Many NBFCs were unable to dispose of the immovable property of defaulter borrowers even after filing the case under SARFAESI Act. It takes a long time to get a favourable income through the SARFAESI route because it takes a long span of time to seek permission from the revenue department. This new provision of decreasing the eligibility limit for NBFC’s will allow a number of NBFCs to move to SARFAESI for asset recovery.
