In terms of the extant instructions NBFCs are required to file various periodical returns. However, no information/data relating to branch network of NBFCs is currently being filed with RBI. 2.

It has therefore been decided to capture branch details of the NBFCs such as name, address, date of opening, closure etc. as per the ‘Branch Info’ return hosted on the website https://cosmos.rbi.org.in under the menu ‘Download blank form’. The Return is also available in the Bank website www.rbi.org.in > Sitemap > NBFC list > Forms/Returns. 3. All deposit taking NBFCs and all Non-deposit taking NBFCs having total assets more than Rs.50 crore are advised as under: a) Submit within one month from the date of this circular, information in respect of all their branches functioning as on June 30, 2013 b) Thereafter, update on a quarterly basis, the details of the branches opened/closed during the calendar quarter. Such updation will be done within 10 days of the calendar quarter to which the information relates. 4. With the introduction of the new return, all public deposit accepting Non-banking financial companies need not submit the data pertaining to Branch details in NBS-1 from the return for September 2013 onwards. 5.
