NBFCs and Its Components

 What is NBFC?

While understanding the basic concept of a non-banking finance company (NBFC), we need to know what an NBFC is. 

Legally speaking, a Non-Bank Finance Company (NBFC) is a company registered under the Companies Act 1956 that engages in lending and advances, purchasing shares/stocks/bonds/bonds/bonds/securities issued by government or local government, policy or other similar guarantees, rent, payment, workplace insurance, commercial value, but excluding services of organizations whose main business is agriculture, trade, purchase and sale of goods (excluding securities) or service operation and sale/sale of property. 

In layman terms, a non-banking finance company (NBFC) is a financial institution that offers banking services but does not meet the definition of legal bank money, i.e. does not hold a banking license.
