Core Investment Companies (Reserve Bank) Directions, 2011 – Clarification on CICs Issuing Guarantees

In terms of the Core Investment Companies (Reserve Bank) Directions, 2011 dated January 05, 2011, every Systemically Important Core Investment Company (CIC-ND-SI) shall, apply to the Reserve Bank of India for grant of Certificate of Registration. Systemically important core investment company means a CIC fulfilling both the following conditions:

  1. Having total assets of not less than Rs.100 crore, either individually or in aggregate along with other Core Investment Companies in the Group; and

  2. Raises or holds public funds;

CICs not fulfilling the above mentioned conditions are exempted from registration as CICs-ND-SI.

2.CICs may be required to issue guarantees or take on other contingent liabilities on behalf of their group entities. Before doing so, CICs must ensure that they can meet the obligation thereunder, as and when they arise. In particular, CICs which are exempt from registration requirement must be in a position to do so without recourse to public funds in the event the liability devolves. If unregistered CICs with asset size above Rs. 100 crore access public funds without obtaining a Certificate of Registration (CoR) from RBI, they will be seen as violating Core Investment Companies (Reserve Bank) Directions, 2011 dated January 05, 2011.

3. As defined in the CIC Directions, “Public funds" shall include funds raised either directly or indirectly through public deposits, Commercial Papers, debentures, inter-corporate deposits and bank finance but excludes funds raised by issue of instruments which are compulsorily convertible into equity shares within a period not exceeding 10 years from the date of issue.

Yours faithfully,
