RBI has been in charge of regulating NBFCs for a long time. They've been adjusting the rules as the financial sector changes. Until October 2022, NBFCs were split into two groups: Systemically Important (SI) and Non-Systemically Important (Non-SI). But things changed last year.
RBI introduced a new way to classify NBFCs based on layers: Base, Middle, Upper, and Top. This new system had some good points but also made the rules a bit confusing. The terms "Base layer" and "Middle layer" were a lot like Non-SI and SI NBFCs. Before, the main thing for classifying NBFCs was their assets, with less than Rs. 500 crores being Non-SI and more than Rs. 500 crores being SI. But the new Scale-Based Regulation (SBR) Framework used different criteria.
To make things clearer and to simplify the rules, RBI released the Master Direction – Reserve Bank of India (Non-Banking Financial Company – Scale Based Regulation) Directions, 2023, or just the SBR Master Directions. These new guidelines bring all the rules for NBFCs of different sizes and types into one place.
The SBR Master Directions are split into sections for different categories of NBFCs based on their size and type. This includes rules for the Base Layer, Middle Layer (which includes the Base Layer rules), Upper Layer (with the Base and Middle Layer rules), and Top Layer (with specific rules that are given when a company reaches the Top Layer). There are also specific rules for Microfinance Institutions (MFIs), Factors, NBFCs registered under the Factoring Act, and Infrastructure Development Funds (IDFs). These specific rules make it clear what applies to each type of NBFC. Watch the complete video to learn more.
