FDI IN NBFC
Clearly after the technical reading of the notification issued by RBI on 9th September 2016, requirement of entity in the NBFC activities should be regulated by a financial sector regulator. The notification does not specify the requirement of entity being registered or licensed by a financial sector regulator and hence it is believed that emphasis has to be on the entity being regulated rather than licensed. Further there is lack of clarity as to whether the above conditions can be seen as FDI linked performance conditions, thereby making LLP’s engaged in financial services ineligible for receiving FDI. Accordingly it appears that there should be no prohibition on LLP’s engaged in Non- banking financial services sector from accepting foreign investment. Although the ownership and control of the LLP would need to be determined in case of such an LLP in accordance with general principles and conditions laid down under FDI policy. Furthermore, the rate of interest in many companies in terms of FDI is low.
