New NBFC Regulations: A ready reckoner guide
-Team Finserv | finserv@vinodkothari.com
From 28th Nov 2025, all RBI regulated entities are governed by a completely new set of regulations.
We provide a complete comparative snapshot of the familiar old regulations and the new avatars. We have also shortlisted the changes, if any, as also commented for your comfort where there are no changes from the earlier regime.
Actionables: While there are rarely any significant substantive changes, however, REs may, at an early date, bring this major rewriting exercise to the knowledge of their boards, and proceed to make consequential changes in policies, SOPs, etc.
