To register a Non-Banking Financial Company (NBFC) in India, a comprehensive set of documents must be submitted to the Reserve Bank of India (RBI). The process begins with the Certificate of Incorporation and the company’s Memorandum and Articles of Association (MoA & AoA), which must clearly state the intent to carry out financial business.

A board resolution approving the NBFC application is also required. The company must demonstrate compliance with the minimum Net Owned Fund (NOF) requirement—typically ₹2 crore—supported by an auditor’s certificate and bank statements showing capital infusion by the promoters. Know Your Customer (KYC) documents, including PAN, Aadhaar, and address proofs of all directors and shareholders, must be submitted along with their recent credit reports from recognized credit bureaus.

A detailed business plan outlining the nature of financial services, target market, and risk assessment strategy is essential. Additionally, the company must provide its organizational structure, including details of key managerial personnel. Proper documentation is critical for a successful NBFC registration, ensuring compliance with RBI norms and establishing the company’s credibility and financial readiness to operate in India’s regulated financial sector.
