NBFC Registration in India: Procedure
According to Section 45, I (a) of the RBI Act, 1934, a company that is already incorporated and has a minimum net owned funds of Rs. 2 crores can only register itself in India. So, with the basics out of the way, let’s look at the steps.
First, you need the company incorporation certificate which is registered under either Companies Act, 2013 or the Companies Act, 1956 and it must be a Private or Public Limited Company.
Then, you must apply for online registration on RBIs official COSMOS website.
On the COSMOS website, youll find an Excel application form that you have to download, fill up with required information and upload again on the website.
Once you have completed the submission, youll receive a Company Application Reference Number (CARN) for the CoR (Certificate of Recognition) application filed online.
After that, you’ll have to submit a physical copy of the application along with all the necessary documents to your Regional Office of the Reserve Bank of India.
ROC will verify the application and submitted documents. If everythings okay, the Head Office of RBI will issue the NBFC license.
After your company has been incorporated, we’ll be applying for a PAN for your company. Sterling also has associations with leading banks like HSBC, DBS etc. to help you open a current account without visiting India.
