KNBFC Annual Meet – 2013
Kochi, 6th June, 2013 -Kerala Non-Banking Finance Companies(KNBFC), held this year’s annual meet in Kochi.The Annual Meet was inaugurated by Shri K. M. Mani, Hon’ble Minister for Finance, Govt. of Kerala. The event was also graced by Mr. Shreedhar Prasad, Director, Risk consulting at KPMG, Mr. Thomas George Muthoot, Chairman of KNBFC, Mr. Kurian C George, Vice Chairman, KNBFC, Mr. George Alexander Muthoot, Chairman, AGLOC and other eminent representatives of other NBFCs in Kerala.The Annual Meet mainly focused on the various risks as well as governance challenges that are faced by the NBFCs in the current scenario and how a proactive approach towards compliance can help minimize these risks.
Speaking on the occasion, Shri. K M Mani, Kerala Finance Minister said “People are not getting credit from banking sectors owing to technical hurdles but NBFC’s are filling this gap. Banks face problems to expand their rural presence, there NBFC’s come to the rescue of the rural masses. The state government is committed to encourage the sector." Mr George Alexander Muthoot, Chairman, AGLOC, addressed the gathering on other matters related to the sector.
Mr. Thomas George Muthoot, Chairman of KNBFC said, ‘’Over the years the NBFC Sector has not only grown in size, but also in terms of interconnectedness and systemic importance. Most of the NBFCs enjoy huge credit lines with the Banking system. Hence it is very essential that the NBFCs should function in a systematic and healthy manner contributing to the financial stability of the economy of our Country. Therefore, the need for adequate control over the NBFCs should not be overstated. NBFCs strictly abide by the rules prescribed by the Government and the RBI and we will continue doing our business in a fair manner” .

RBI sets up Working Group to examine Issues relating to NBFC Sector
The Hindu, 8th March 2011 |
|
|
The working group to examine issues
pertaining to regulation of NBFCs
will
be headed by
former
RBI
Deputy Governor Usha Thorat. |
Focus will be on standards of governance
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) on Monday constituted a working group under the Chairmanship of Usha Thorat, Director, Centre for Advanced Financial Research and Learning (CAFRAL), to examine a range of emerging issues pertaining to regulation of the NBFCs (non-banking financial companies) sector.
The NBFCs sector has undergone a significant transformation in the past few years and has come to be recognised as a systemically important element of the financial system. The recent global financial crisis has also highlighted the regulatory imperatives concerning the non-banking financial sector and the risks arising from regulatory gaps, arbitrage and systemic inter-connectedness. A need was, therefore, felt to reflect on the broad principles that underpin the regulatory architecture for NBFCs keeping in view the economic role and heterogeneity of this sector and the recent international experience, the RBI stated in a press release here.
Other members of the group are: Sanjay Labroo, Director, Central Board, RBI; Rajiv Lall, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, Infrastructure Development Finance Corporation; Bharat Doshi, Executive Director and Group Chief Financial Officer, Mahindra & Mahindra; and Pratip Kar, Director, Globsyn Business School, Kolkata. Uma Subramaniam, Chief General Manager-in-Charge, Department of Non-Banking Supervision will be the Member-Secretary.
While examining a range of emerging issues pertaining to the regulation of the sector, the working group will focus on the definition and classification of NBFCs, addressing regulatory gaps and regulatory arbitrage, maintaining standards of governance in the sector and appropriate approach to NBFC supervision. The scope of examination will, however, be within the current legislative framework.
