Clarifications to Queries on Guidelines for Licensing of New Banks in the Private Sector

A. No. An existing non-operating listed holding company, with more than 51 per cent public shareholding cannot operate as the NOFHC as the NOFHC has to be wholly-owned by the Promoter / Promoter Group. The above cited example does not meet this criteria as the non-operating listed holding company has equity shareholding from non-promoters/promoter group entities. However, this existing non-operative listed holding company in which public shareholding exceeds 51 per cent can promote a NOFHC.

A non operating holding company being a promoter of NOFHC will be required to be registered as a CIC with RBI if it meets the stipulated criteria.

If the non operating holding company does not meet the criteria for being defined as a Core Investment Company but is an NBFC (Investment Company) it will be required to be registered with RBI as NBFC(Investment Company).

A. For the purpose of these guidelines, the investment company (SPV/CIC) that holds shares only in non-financial companies of the Promoter Group would not be considered as a financial services company and would be held outside the purview of the NOFHC. [para 2 (C) (iii) of the guidelines]
A. A non-operative financial holding company is a company which has no operational activities and holds the non-financial sector companies of the Promoter Group and which has no subsidiaries, joint venture or associate or other controlled entities in the financial sector except investments in the NOFHC.

Further, the company itself will be deemed to be the Promoter and all the provisions of the guidelines applicable to the Promoter and the Promoter Group will apply to it.

[ Paragraph 2(C)(ii) and (iii) of the guidelines]
