Outlook

The NBFC industry is well positioned to contribute to the India’s growth & very recently were acknowledged by the RBI governor for their pivotal contribution in delivering credit to unbanked and underserved areas. The NBFC industry scope involves complementing and sometimes even substituting banks by widening the ambit and access to financial services. The increased credit availability has been a major factor in driving the enterprise in the country. Technology too played a significant role and has been a key enabler across the industry, largely enhancing user experience and easing out the whole process. With growing economy & government schemes for expanding the financial inclusivity is well poised for further growth of the NBFCs.

Risk

NBFCs need to remain alert to avoid any complacency during good times. RBI highlighted the need for further strengthening the governance standards and assurance mechanisms viz. Compliance, Risk management and Internal audit on a regular basis.

The increasing dependencies on bank borrowings can increase risks associated with high credit growth in retail segment mostly in unsecured.

Apart from that prioritising the upgradation of IT systems and cyber security is something needs to be often looked after.
