RBI Proposes Restricting NBFCs' Revolving Credit Facilities to Term Loans
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has proposed restricting non-banking financial companies (NBFCs) from offering revolving credit facilities, allowing only term loans with fixed repayment schedules unless the NBFC holds a credit card license. Analysts and industry executives expect NBFCs to shift from flexible revolving loans to bullet-repayment loans, potentially raising costs for borrowers and impacting fee income. While some lenders like Tata Capital have limited exposure to such loans, others like Bajaj Finance have significant portfolios. The RBI has invited feedback before finalizing the regulations.
