The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) on September 22 in its notification tightened the return filing format for non-banking financial companies (NBFCs) under which they will have to make disclosures about their deposit and lending activities to the central bank more frequently. According to the revised format the NBFCs have to make disclosures about their deposit and lending activities to the central bank on a quarterly basis. NBFCs are also required to file various returns related to deposit acceptance, prudential norms, capital market exposure, etc.
Likewise, the RBI has also asked non deposit taking NBFCs to submit statements on capital funds, risk weighted assets, risk asset ratio, among others on quarterly basis. However, norms relating to reporting about liquid asset exposure to capital market among other have not been changed. The NBFCs which accepts deposits will have to submit quarterly returns on liquid assets to the RBI.
The NBFCs with total asset of Rs 100 crore and above will have to submit monthly returns on exposure to capital market. However, the non-deposit taking NBFCs would continue to file monthly returns on important financial parameters.
In its notification RBI said, the returns, under the new norms, concerning deposits, prudential norms for deposit taking NBFCs and statement of capital funds, risk weighted assets, risk asset ratio for non-deposit taking NBFCs should be submitted for the July-September quarter. All these filings will have to be done by NBFCs to the central bank in the revised formats notified by the apex bank, the RBI added.
