Besides, you will require to pay professional fees to NBFC consultant, in case you are securing expert\u2019s help and advice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Therefore, the total capital you will require to pay for an NBFC could amount you to Rs. 15-16 lakhs or above. However, we at Swarit Advisors will help you to obtain NBFC at quite nominal charges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_is_NBFC_License_Fees_so_high\"><\/span>Why is NBFC License Fees so high?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s one of the most popular questions that people have about NBFC and it is quite apparent. NBFC registration fee isn\u2019t just the fee required for NBFC, but it includes everything from company incorporation to <a href=\"https:\/\/swaritadvisors.com\/learning\/nbfc-annual-compliance-checklist\/\" class=\"text-primary\"><strong>annual compliance of NBFC<\/strong><\/a>. There are several things that need to be done while <em>enrolling your business for NBFC.<\/em> As a result, the NBFC fees are extremely high.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s discuss the reasons why <strong>fees for obtaining NBFC license<\/strong> are quite high. They are as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Net_Owned_Fund_NOF\"><\/span>Net Owned Fund (NOF)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Although NOF doesn\u2019t count in the <strong>NBFC registration fees<\/strong>, one can consider the NOF as a part of registration. It is so because net owned find is the very first requirement for being eligible for NBFC. Additionally, it\u2019s the first capital which makes the NBFC appear so expensive. However, make sure you don\u2019t include the NOF in the registration fee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Company_Incorporation_with_MCA\"><\/span>Company Incorporation with MCA<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Company incorporation in itself is a cumbersome task. Along with the application fee, you will require to pay the prescribed fee for the following as well:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>MCA\u2019s fee for filing the application;<\/li><li>SPICe filing;<\/li><li>RUN (Reserve Unique Name) application;<\/li><li>DIN (Director Identification Number) for every director;<\/li><li>DSC (Digital Signature Certificate) of every director;<\/li><li>MOA (Memorandum of Association) and AOA (Articles of Association).<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Required_technical_equipment\"><\/span>Required technical equipment<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Since you are starting such big incorporation, you will definitely require a few essential software. In fact, it\u2019s one of the mandatory requirements for getting NBFC registration in India. Every company incorporating as an NBFC must be technically equipped and possess all the necessary NBFC software. Under the circumstance, you lack the technical equipment for NBFC company, then RBI can reject your application for registration. Therefore, for NBFC license, you must have the prescribed software which will again cost you in lakhs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Government_NBFC_registration_fees\"><\/span>Government NBFC registration fees<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As discussed, the government fee for NBFC is Rs. 3, 50, 000 which is unquestionably high. Plus, because it\u2019s the government fees, you can\u2019t negotiate it. As a result, you have to pay the full amount. It\u2019s one of the biggest reasons why the NBFC fee is so high.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Business_Plan\"><\/span>Business Plan<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A business plan is another aspect contributing to&nbsp;<em>high fees for registering an NBFC<\/em>. Without a business plan, no company can even start its work. It\u2019s the layout or better say, the road map of any business. A&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/swaritadvisors.com\/business-plan\" class=\"text-primary\"><strong>business plan<\/strong><\/a>&nbsp;consists of Business\u2019s objective, executive summary, business model, revenue projection, and more. Besides, it consists of next five plans of the company. Therefore, a&nbsp;business plan is NBFC\u2019s one of the vital requirements<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, because it\u2019s so much required and includes the most crucial parts of the business, experts charge a nice fee for the same. As a result, <strong>fees for NBFC<\/strong> are extremely high.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Documentation\"><\/span>Documentation<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Most of the NBFC\u2019s application is rejected because of improper or inappropriate and partial documentation. Documentation plays a major role in both the NBFC registration process as well as contributing a good hike in the registration fee. Documents required for NBFC are as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>KYC of all the directors and shareholders<\/li><li>Net worth certificate<\/li><li>Clean banker report<\/li><li>Credit report of all the shareholders and directors<\/li><li>Education proof<\/li><li>At least one director\u2019s profile with more than 10 years of experience in the financial sector<\/li><li>CA certificate<\/li><li>FDI report, if any<\/li><li>Business plan<\/li><li>System and IT policy, etc. <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Experts_fee\"><\/span>Expert\u2019s fee <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>An expert fee is what professionals require for all the above processes. The expert will help you with the documentation process, provide you with a strong and well intact business plan, get your company registered, give you MOA and AOA of the company, etc. Apart from this, experts will also give you advice on how to carry on the business. Further, they keep in touch with RBI and acquaint you with all the required information for running an NBFC successfully. All this costs a lot. Hence, the expert&#8217;s fee amount from Rs. 5 lakh to Rs. 10 lakh, excluding government fees. If everything is accurate and satisfies RBI&#8217;s eligibility criteria, then the expert will get you the NBFC license within 84 to 90 working days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Besides the above-mentioned, NBFC compliance also plays a critical role in contributing to the extremely high NBFC registration fees. In case, somebody fails to comply with compliance of NBFC within the due time, the company would be subject to hefty penalty or could even lead to company closure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now that you have known how much money you will require for obtaining NBFC license, let us discuss in brief about the NBFC formation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_an_NBFC_is_formed\"><\/span>How an NBFC is formed?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>NBFC stands for Non-Banking Financial Institution. Typically, it&#8217;s a kind of company which deals with the principal business of loans and advances, hire-purchase, acquisition of stocks or shares, chit funds, insurance business, leasing, etc. In short, it is a financial institution that acts almost like a bank but is slightly different in a few aspects. For instance, NBFCs cannot accept demand deposits, nor it can issue cheques drawn in its favour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Therefore, according to the <strong>RBI Act, 1934<\/strong>, if you are engaged in the principal business of aforesaid financial activities, then you must first obtain an NBFC license from RBI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to section 45 I (a) of the RBI Act, 1934, every company willing to register itself as NBFC should first comply with the following requirements:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>The company must be registered as a Private Limited Company or Public Company under Section 3 of the Companies Act, 2013.<\/li><li>The applicant must possess the <strong>net owned fund (NOF)<\/strong> or fixed deposit of Rs. 2 crores in the account.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Apart from this, the company is supposed to provide the RBI with a few essential documents such as KYC and credit report of all the directors and shareholders, Certificate of Incorporation, Business plan, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, if you satisfy the above-mentioned conditions, you can proceed to apply for NBFC license. For Register NBFC with RBI, go to <a href=\"https:\/\/cosmos.rbi.org.in\/\">RBI\u2019s COSMOS<\/a> website, where you need to sign in and submit the application for NBFC.
