FAQs on Non-Banking Financial Companies

Repayment of matured deposits

An NBFC accepts deposits under a mutual contract with its depositors. In case a depositor requests for pre-mature payment, Reserve Bank of India has prescribed Regulations for such an eventuality in the Non-Banking Financial Companies Acceptance of Public Deposits (Reserve Bank) Directions, 1998. However, premature repayment of deposits is the sole discretion of the company concerned. In other words, if the company agrees to pre-pay deposits at the request of the depositor, the depositor and the company are deemed to have mutually agreed to amend the terms of contract. On the above analogy, if a company intends to pre-pay deposits, it can seek the consent of the depositors for such pre-mature repayment and if the depositors agree, a company can do so. It does not involve prior approval of RBI so long as the provisions relating to minimum period regarding repayment of deposits are not violated.
