Want to Enter India’s Booming Lending Sector—Without Waiting Years?

India’s lending market is expanding at an unprecedented pace—driven by fintech innovation, rising credit demand, and digital-first borrowers. But setting up a new NBFC (Non-Banking Financial Company) from scratch can take years, with no guarantee of RBI approval.

The smarter move? Acquire an existing NBFC.


Why Buying an NBFC is a Strategic Shortcut

Acquiring a pre-existing NBFC gives you an instant entry into the financial services landscape—fully RBI-approved and operational from Day One.
Here’s what makes this route so attractive:

  • Pre-Approved by RBI – Save time on fresh licensing.

  • Ready-to-Run Operations – Access to a functioning team, systems, and processes.

  • Existing Loan Book – Immediate revenue from active lending operations.

But make no mistake—NBFC takeovers aren’t plug-and-play. RBI regulations are strict, and every step requires careful due diligence and legal precision.


⚠️ What Every NBFC Buyer Must Assess

Before you make an offer, it’s crucial to evaluate the target NBFC’s health and compliance status. Key checkpoints include:

  • 📊 Financial Strength & Capital Adequacy
    Ensure the NBFC meets RBI’s net owned fund (NOF) and liquidity requirements.

  • 📉 Loan Book Quality
    Analyze current NPAs, collection efficiency, and default risk.

  • 🏢 Operational Infrastructure
    Review technology, manpower, credit processes, and internal controls.

  • ⚖️ Legal & Regulatory Standing
    Check for past penalties, compliance gaps, and any ongoing litigations.

  • 🌐 Market Reputation
    Understand the NBFC’s brand equity and borrower trust.


🛑 Don’t Ignore the RBI Mandates

NBFC takeovers must be approved by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) before any transfer of control. Here’s what’s involved:

  • Filing for prior approval under RBI’s Master Direction for NBFCs

  • Drafting a proper MOU and Share Purchase Agreement (SPA)

  • Issuing public notices in newspapers

  • Updating the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) and ROC records

  • Demonstrating “fit and proper” status of new directors/shareholders

Missing a single step can lead to regulatory rejection or penalties.
