End-to-End Advisory by N D Savla & Associates

Here’s the thing. Running or setting up an NBFC in India isn’t just about getting an RBI certificate and moving on. It’s a tightly regulated space. Miss one condition, one return, or one compliance window, and the consequences show up fast.

This is where the right advisory partner matters.

At N D Savla & Associates, we support NBFCs at every stage: entry, operations, restructuring, and ongoing compliance. Our role is simple. We handle the regulatory complexity so promoters and management can focus on the business.


What Is an NBFC?

A Non-Banking Financial Company is a financial institution registered with the Reserve Bank of India under the RBI Act, 1934. NBFCs can engage in lending, investment, leasing, hire-purchase, and other financial activities but cannot accept demand deposits like banks.

Because NBFCs deal with public funds and credit risk, RBI oversight is strict. This makes professional guidance non-negotiable.


Our NBFC Services

We manage the complete registration process from start to finish, including:

  • Entity structuring and eligibility assessment

  • Drafting of policies and declarations

  • RBI application filing and follow-ups

We don’t just file forms. We make sure your application stands up to RBI scrutiny.


2. NBFC Annual & Ongoing Compliance

NBFC compliance is continuous, not annual. We ensure you stay compliant throughout the year with:
