D. Definition of deposits, Eligible / Ineligible Institutions to accept deposits and Related Matters
The Reserve Bank's overarching concern while regulating/ supervising any financial entity is protection of depositors' interest. Depositors place deposit with any entity on trust unlike an investor who invests in the shares of a company with the intention of sharing the risk as well as return with the promoters. Protection of depositors' interest, thus, is supreme in financial regulation. Further, the deposits of NBFCs do not have insurance from the Deposit Insurance and Credit Guarantee Corporation.
