Both Income and Asset criteria to be satisfied
Maintenance of minimum NOF
All NBFCs, irrespective of their date of existence are required to attain a minimum NOF of Rs. 2 crores. Presently the same was applicable for NBFCs registered with the RBI
from 21st April, 1999. For NBFCs in existence on before 21st April, 1999, the NOF had been
retained at Rs. 25 lakhs.
Existing NBFCs with NOF of less than 2 crores are required to submit a statutory auditor's certificate certifying compliance to the revised levels at the end of each of the two financial years as given in the adjacent table.
Minimum NOF of Rs. 200 lakh to be attained by the end of March 2017, as per the milestones given below: Rs. 100 lakh by the end of March 2016 Rs. 200 lakh by the end of March 2017
Clarification w.r.t. calculation of NOF
For calculation of NOF of an NBFC as per section 45-IA of the RBI Act, 1934 –
Investments in the companies in the same group are to be reduced from the Owned Funds of the Company –
The definition of “companies in the same group” has to be derived from section 370(1B) of the Companies Act, 1956
Aggregation of the total assets of NBFCs in a group in order to determine the
systemic importance of an NBFC
Aggregation of assets of Multiple NBFCs in the same group
Was a part of the 10th November, 2014 circular
Was dropped from the final notifications of 27th
March, 2015
Again re-instated in the Master Circular –Miscellaneous Instructions to all NBFCs
Multiple NBFCs in the same Group
For ascertaining asset size of NBFCs-ND-SI, the total assets ofNBFCs in a group (i.e. part of a corporate group or are floated bya common set of promoters), including NBFCs-D, if any, will beaggregated. That is, asset size will be clubbed as “group” level
Accordingly consolidation will fall within the asset sizes of the twocategories viz. NBFC-ND (with asset size of less than Rs, 500 crores); and NBFC-ND-SI (with asset size of Rs. 500 crore or more).
Regulations as applicable to the two categories will be applicable toeach of the NBFC-ND within the group, irrespective of itsindividual asset size.
For NBFC-D, all applicable regulations would apply.
‘Companies in the Group’ defined
The word “group” has a broad definition
“Companies in the Group”, shall mean an arrangement involving two or moreentities related to each other through any of the following relationships: Subsidiary – parent (defined in terms of AS 21),
Joint venture (defined in terms of AS 27),
Associate (defined in terms of AS 23),
Promoter - promotee [as provided in the SEBI (Acquisition of Shares and Takeover) Regulations,1997],
For listed companies, a related party (defined in terms of AS 18),
Common brand name, and
Investment in equity shares of 20% and above
The word “group” would take the definition of applicable AccountingStandards. Accounting standards define “group” to mean holding, subsidiary and fellow subsidiaries

RBI’s FAQs on NBFCs clarifies “indirect receipts of public funds” to be –
indirect receipt of public funds means funds received not directly but through associates and group entities which have access to public funds.
Meaning of NBFC-ND-SI changed
Earlier non-deposit accepting NBFCs with asset size of Rs. 100 crores or more were classified as NBFC-ND-SI.
Henceforth, NBFCs-ND which have asset size of Rs. 500 crore and above as per the last audited balance sheet would be classified as NBFC-ND-SI for the purpose of administering prudential norms.
Rs 500 crores is a reasonably big size
Expectedly, a whole lot of companies will go out of complying with all or some of the prudential norms requirement
