Overview of RBI Reporting

RBI Reporting is mandatory for all NBFCs and other regulated entities to ensure transparency, regulatory supervision, and anti-money laundering compliance. Regular submissions to the DNBS portalFIU-INDCKYC, and similar platforms are crucial to maintain your license and avoid penalties or enforcement actions.

Stay compliant and avoid regulatory pitfalls by following key RBI guidelines. NBFCs must maintain the mandatory Net Owned Fund (NOF), file CIMS DNBS returns on a quarterly and half-yearly basis, and complete CIC and CKYC registration to participate in lending activities. RBI’s directions also require timely management change approvals and strict adherence to policy documentation standards. Operational and risk management, loan monitoring, reporting of suspicious transactions, and performance audits are crucial for NBFC health and regulatory alignment. Our experts break down complex RBI requirements into clear action steps, offering guidance, timely alerts, and hands-on support—ensuring your business stays fully aligned and audit-ready.

RBI FEMA guidelines govern all cross-border transactions, including foreign direct investment (FDI), outward direct investment (ODI), and external commercial borrowings (ECB). Businesses must ensure timely filing of FC-GPR, FC-TRS, ODI, and ECB return forms, accurate classification of foreign inflows/outflows, and compliance with sectoral caps and pricing guidelines. The RBI issues regular circulars and updates to FEMA rules—prompt action is critical to maintain compliance and avoid penalties. Our team provides tailored compliance advice, monitoring services, and practical training to keep you ahead of regulatory changes.
