He explained that since banks have started purchasing portfolios from NBFCs, the liquidity squeeze has somewhat been relaxed. &ldquo;The NBFCs are getting cash in exchange for their existing loans being sold to banks and these funds are being used for new loans.<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What are the Benefits of\nMudra Scheme for NBFCs?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>In June 2003 in its, <\/strong>the Parliamentary standing committee on finance in its 45th report in June 2003 (relating to the Financial Companies Regulation Bill, 2000) had recommended setting up of a new refinance institution for NBFCs. By creating a refinance window under <strong>Mudra scheme<\/strong>, it ensured sufficient bank funding to NBFCs at a reasonable cost and is helping the banks to meet their PSL targets. It is also helping the NBFC sector in providing long term liquidity and stability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By making the issue through an easy to operate and less\ncostly procedure, NBFCs can be allowed an on-tap facility for issuance of NCDs\nto the retail <a class=\"glossaryLink\"  aria-describedby=\"tt\"  data-cmtooltip=\"&lt;div class=glossaryItemTitle&gt;Market&lt;\/div&gt;&lt;div class=glossaryItemBody&gt;A market is a structured environment, either physical or virtual, where buyers and sellers convene to trade goods and services.

An AIF would help channelize the flow of institutional funds to NBFCs, while the on-tap mechanism for raising retail money would offer a cost-effective fund-raising mechanism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Further, by availing refinance from Mudra for\non-lending to small- and medium-sized NBFCs, NBFCs should be allowed to act as aggregators. A refinance window will give comfort\nto NBFCs that there is some option available to get liquidity and will also\ngive confidence to banks to lend to the sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For the FY 2018, NBFCs not only\nmet their Mudra target of&nbsp;&#8377;&nbsp;9,050 crore but their\nsanction for the year was five times high from the previous year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p><h3>Read More: <a href=\"https:\/\/enterslice.com\/learning\/compliance-of-housing-finance-companies-in-india\/\">Compliance of Housing Finance Companies in India<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Mudra scheme has made a lasting impact on the development of the NBFC sector and helped fuel the economic growth of the nation.
