An NBFC is a financial institution that does not have a banking license but provides banking services. Operations of NBFCs are regulated under a country’s banking regulations but it is established under the Companies Act, 1956.
The Reserve Bank of India regulates the NBFCs under Reserve Bank of India Act, 1934.
NBFCs can provide loans and credit facilities, offer savings and investments products and can offer money transfer services to the customers. However NBFCs, unlike Banks, cannot accept demand deposits from customers.
NBFCs also are not a part of the country’s payment and settlement system. Therefore, they cannot offer cheque facility to their customers.
