NBFCs Plan Rate and Fee Increases to Offset Insurance Commission Caps
Non-bank lenders and housing finance companies in India plan to raise lending rates and processing fees to offset income losses from proposed regulatory caps on commissions for credit-linked insurance products. Firms like Bajaj Housing Finance and Home First Finance are also considering adjusting their product mixes. These changes may increase borrowing costs, especially in affordable housing and high-yield lending segments, where lenders have more flexibility in pricing and fees.
