A Non-Banking Financial Company (NBFC) plays a vital role in India’s financial ecosystem by providing loans, credit facilities, asset financing, and investment services to businesses and individuals. NBFCs complement the banking sector by extending financial services to segments that may not be adequately served by traditional banks.

To operate legally in India, NBFCs must obtain registration from the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) and comply with strict regulatory and reporting requirements.
