L&T Finance, one of the aspirants for a new banking license, might have to revise its corporate structure as per the Reserve Bank of India (RBI)’s clarifications on the new bank licensing guidelines. The central bank has declared that the private players aspiring to enter the banking space need to create a non-operative financial holding company (NOFHC).
In L&T Finance Holdings, the holding company of L&T Finance, parent Larsen & Toubro had 82.54% stake at the end of March. But RBI has clarified that in a multi-layered holding structure, the minimum 51 per cent public holding requirement will need to be complied by the company that holds the voting equity in NOFHC. So L&T Finance Holdings cannot set up NOFHC as public shareholding in the company is below 51%.
