Moneylife Digital Team 09 May 2025
As many as four non-banking finance companies (NBFCs) have surrendered their registration certificates to the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), while the regulator cancelled the registration of one NBFC and an asset reconstruction company (ARC). The reasons for surrendering registration include exiting the business and ceasing to be legal entities due to amalgamation, merger, dissolution or voluntary strike-off.
 
Those whose registration has been cancelled by RBI include RL Investment and Finance Company Ltd, an NBFC based in Uttar Pradesh, and India Resurgence ARC Pvt Ltd, an ARC headquartered in Maharashtra.
 
Among the NBFCs that surrendered their registration certificates, two are based in Maharashtra and one each from Tamil Nadu and West Bengal. According to the RBI, three of these companies exited the non-banking finance business voluntarily, while one ceased operations following corporate actions such as amalgamation, dissolution, merger or voluntary strike-off.

Based on publicly available information, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) cancelled India Resurgence ARC Private Limited's (IRARC) Certificate of Registration (CoR) on April 4, 2025, with news reported on May 9, 2025. While some media broadly stated the cancellation, Watchoutinvestors.com specifically cited "DID NOT ADHERE TO RBI (SARFAESI) ACT, 2002" as the reason, indicating a failure to comply with the legal framework for securitisation and asset reconstruction.
Regarding RBI's due diligence, public media, including Moneylife, did not have direct access to internal reports; such details are typically confidential regulatory information.
Given the stated reason for cancellation, what specific penal actions and punishments, beyond the CoR cancellation itself, has the RBI imposed on IRARC? For additional and authentic information concerning the alleged syndicate members, you may contact U.V. Rao, the whistleblower, victim, and researcher whose allegations were judicially acknowledged by the High Court in May 2025. His email is [email protected].
