The Factoring Regulation Act, 2011[1] defines the ‘Factoring Business’ as “the Business of acquisition of receivables of assignor by accepting assignment of such receivables or financing, whether by way of making loans or advances or in any other manner against the security interest over any receivables”.
However, credit facilities provided by banks in the ordinary course of business against the security of receivables or any other activity undertaken as a commission agent or otherwise for sale of agricultural produce or goods of any kind whatsoever and other allied related activities are expressly excluded from the definition of NBFC – Factoring Business & its operating ambit.

An entity or an organization not registered with the Bank or been given the Certificate to operate one may not conduct the business of factoring unless it is an entity mentioned in Section 5 of the Act i.e. a Bank or any Body Corporate established under an Act of Parliament or State Legislature, or a Government Company as specified under companies Act, 2013.
