An Overview on Nbfc Sector in India
Non-Banking Financial Companies (NBFC) have rapidly emerged as an important segment of the Indian financial system. Moreover, NBFCs assume significance in the small business segment as they primarily cater to the credit requirements of the unorganised sector such as wholesale & retail traders, small-scale industries and small borrowers at the local level. NBFC is a heterogeneous group of financial institutions, performing a wide range of activities like hire-purchase finance, vehicle financing, equipment lease finance, personal loans, working capital loans, consumer loans, housing loans, loans against shares and investment, etc. NBFCs are broadly divided into three categories namely (i) NBFCs accepting deposits from banks (NBFC-D); (ii) NBFCs not accepting/holding public deposits (NBFC-ND); and (iii) core investment companies (i.e. those acquiring share/securities of their group/holding/subsidiary companies to the extent of not less than 90% of total assets and which do not accept public deposits.)
The segment has witnessed considerable growth in the last few years and is now being recognised as complementary to the banking sector due to implementation of innovative marketing strategies, introduction of tailor-made products, customer-oriented services, attractive rates of return on deposits and simplified procedures, etc.
While the functions of NBFCs are just like banks, there are few differences between both the institutions. These are: (i) NBFC cannot accept demand deposits; (ii) NBFC is not part of the payment and settlement system as well as it cannot issue cheques drawn on itself and (iii) deposit insurance facility of Deposit Insurance & Credit Guarantee Corporation is not available for NBFC depositors unlike in the case of banks.

Regulatory Framework
The RBI Act was amended in 1997 to provide for comprehensive regulatory framework for NBFCs. As per the RBI (Amendment) Act 1997, the RBI can issue directions to NBFCs & its’ auditors, prohibit deposit

    How Does Customer Relationship Management Help Companies Develop Customer Insights and Deliver Superior Customer Value

    From the 1991 India economic crisis to its status of third largest economy in the world by 2011, India has grown significantly in terms of economic development. So has its banking sector. During this period, recognizing the evolving needs of the sector, the Finance Ministry of Government of India (GOI) set up various committees with the task of analyzing India 's banking sector and recommending legislation and regulations to make it more effective, competitive and efficient.[1] Two such expert Committees were set up under the chairmanship of M. Narasimham. They submitted their recommendations in the 1990s in reports widely known as the Narasimham Committee-I (1991) report and the Narasimham Committee-II (1998) Report. These recommendations not only helped unleash the potential of banking in India, they are also recognized as a factor towards minimizing the impact of global financial crisis starting in 2007. Unlike the socialist-democratic era of the 1960s to 1980s, India is no longer insulated from the global economy and yet its banks survived the 2008 financial crisis relatively unscathed, a feat due in part to these Narasimham Committees.[2]…

    The Indian banking can be broadly categorized into nationalized (government owned), private banks and specialized banking institutions. The Reserve Bank of India acts a centralized body monitoring any discrepancies and shortcoming in the system. Since the nationalization of banks in 1969, the public sector banks or the nationalized banks have acquired a place of prominence and has since then seen tremendous progress.

    Swot Analysis of Reliance Life Insurance Company

    Introduction: Banking sector The Indian Banking industry governed by the Banking Regulation Act of India, 1949, falling into two broad classifications, non-scheduled banks and scheduled banks. Within the commercial banks there are nationalized banks, the State Bank of India and its group banks, regional rural banks and private sector banks (the old/ new domestic and foreign). With the economic growth picking up pace and the investment cycle on the way to recovery, the banking sector has witnessed a transformation in its vital role of intermediating between the demand and supply of funds. The revived credit off take (both from the food and non food segments) and structural reforms have paved the way for a change in the dynamics of the sector itself. Besides gearing up for the compliance with Basel accord, the sector is also looking forward to consolidation and investments on the FDI front. Public sector banks have undergone much restructuring alongside technology implementation. NPAs have been written off against treasury gains in the last few years. Retail lending (especially mortgage financing) has been grabbing a major share of the market in the last 3 years. With better penetration in the semi urban and rural areas the banks garnered a higher proportion of low cost deposits thereby economizing on the cost of funds.…

    Financial Performance of Non Banking Finance Companies

    FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE OF NON BANKING FINANCE COMPANIES IN INDIA Amita S. Kantawala (Reader in Management Studies, M.S. Patel Institute of Management Studies, M.S. University of Baroda, Baroda) Introduction The financial system comprises of financial institutions, financial instruments and financial markets that provide an effective payment and credit system and thereby facilitate channelising of funds from savers to the investors of the economy. In India considerable growth has taken place in the Non-banking financial sector in last two decades. Over a period of time they are successful in rendering a wide range of services. Initially intended to cater to the needs of savers and investors, NBFCs later on developed into institutions that can provide services similar to banks. In India several factors have contributed to the growth of NBFCs. They provide tailor made services to their clients. Comprehensive regulation of the banking system and absence or relatively lower degree of regulation over NBFCs have been some of the main reasons for the growth momentum of the latter. It has been revealed by some research studies that economic development and growth of NBFCs are positively related. In this regard the World Development Report has observed that in the developing counties banks hold a major share of financial assets than they do in the industrially developed countries1. As the demand for financial services grow, countries need to encourage the development NBFCs and securities market in order to broaden the range of services and stimulate competition and efficiency. In India the last decade has witnessed a phenomenal increase in the number of NBFCs. The number of such companies stood at 7063 in 1981, at 15358 in 1985 and it increased to 24009 by 1990 and to 55995 in 1995.2 The main reason for deposits with NBFCs are greater customer orientation and higher rate of interest offered by them as compared to banks. With such a dramatic growth in the numbers of NBFCs it…
