Non-Banking Financial Companies (NBFC) are establishments that provide financial services and banking facilities
without meeting the legal definition of a Bank. They are covered under the Banking regulations laid down by the
Reserve Bank of India and provide banking services like loans, credit facilities, TFCs, retirement planning, investing
and stocking in the money market. However, they are restricted from taking any form of deposits from the general
public. These organizations play a crucial role in the economy, offering their services in urban as well as rural areas,
mostly granting loans allowing for the growth of new ventures.
NBFCs also provide a wide range of monetary advice like chit-reserves and advances. Hence it has become a very
important part of our nation’s Gross Domestic Product and NBFCs alone count for a 12.5% rise in the Gross Domestic
Product of our country. Most people prefer NBFCs over banks as they find them safe, efficient, and quick in assisting
with financial requirements. Moreover, there are various loan products available and there is flexibility and
transparency in their services.
The impact of Covid 19 on NBFCs
According to CRISIL, Fitch, SBI Research, India could dive into a full-blown recession with Arthur D Little saying it will
push 120 million people back into poverty and destroy opportunities of up to 1 trillion dollars in GDP. The RBI states,
banks have credit outstanding of roughly 1.92 trillion dollars and hold deposits worth about 1.69 trillion dollars.
NBFCs, which are the key sources of funding for a lot of diverse segments not funded by banks, have been hit
severely by COVID 19. They were immediately faced with a huge liquidity crisis and declining asset quality. Sectors
critical to NBFCs, such as manufacturing, auto, real estate, and retail, are still operating at a subpar level. This has
added to the pressure for NBFCs earlier affected by the IL&FS defaults.
