Non-Banking Financial Companies (NBFCs) have become an integral part of the Indian financial ecosystem, and their growth over the last decade has brought with it increased regulatory oversight from the Reserve Bank of India (RBI). With the introduction of Scale-Based Regulations (SBR) and Prompt Corrective Action (PCA), the regulatory environment governing NBFCs is now stricter than ever, making strong governance and compliance frameworks essential.

At Corporate Professionals, our specialized team provides expert advisory and transaction assistance across corporate, securities, and other relevant laws governing NBFCs. We offer a range of services designed to ensure that your organization remains compliant and operates smoothly within this complex regulatory environment.

Key Offerings

NBFC Registration

Whether you're looking to start a new NBFC or acquire an existing one, our team can help you navigate the complexities of the registration and acquisition process. We provide insights into available NBFCs for sale and assist with the entire process, from new registrations to changes in control and ownership. Our services include helping clients understand the most viable options based on their requirements and ensuring a smooth approval process.

License & Stationery Approvals

NBFCs require various licenses and registrations to function effectively, and our team provides comprehensive assistance in obtaining approvals for both core and related operations. We handle everything from CERSAI registration and FIU-IND registration to securing licenses such as PPI (Prepaid Payment Instruments), Payment Aggregator, and Account Aggregator. Additionally, we assist with P2P lending tie-ups and other licensing needs that enable your NBFC to expand its services.

Advisory & Assurance Services

The diversity of laws governing NBFCs requires a strong compliance structure and timely updates to ensure adherence to all regulatory requirements. Our advisory and assurance services cover a wide range of compliance needs, including compliance management, periodic reporting, and statutory return submissions. We also assist NBFCs in responding to show-cause notices (SCNs), conducting RBI inspections, providing legal opinions, and handling compounding and adjudication matters.

Transaction-Specific Assistance

NBFCs engage in a variety of transactions, including business correspondence, co-lending, securitization, and partnerships with fintechs and banks. These activities are governed by complex regulations, requiring precise interpretation and execution. Our team offers transaction-specific advisory services, guiding you through the legal framework and ensuring end-to-end implementation for successful partnerships and business ventures.

Audit & Due Diligence

Our audit and due diligence services provide in-depth reviews of both internal and external activities, ensuring compliance and mitigating risks for NBFCs. We conduct compliance audits, borrower’s due diligence, process audits, and KYC audits to ensure that all regulatory standards are met. Our thorough audit services help maintain operational efficiency and regulatory compliance.

Operational Assistance

We offer assistance in managing day-to-day operational, legal, and taxation activities for NBFCs. This includes helping clients develop Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), drafting policies and manuals, and preparing business and legal agreements. Our operational assistance services ensure that NBFCs are able to function smoothly and remain compliant with all legal and regulatory obligations.
