...Shriram City Union Finance Limited (SCUFL) Secured NCD Issue August 11, 2011 Shriram City Union Finance Limited, one of the largest small enterprise finance companies in India, has come up with its public issue of Secured Non Convertible Debentures (NCDs) aggregating upto Rs. 375 crore with an option to retain over-subscription upto Rs. 375 crore for issuance of additional NCDs aggregating to a total of upto Rs. 750 crore. The Issue is open from August 11, 2011 to August 27, 2011 (The Company has the option of closing the issue on an earlier date, once it receives the amount it has targeted). The company will be paying an interest ranging between 11.50% and 12.10% p.a. on these bonds.

...Manual on Financial and Banking Statistics 6. NON-BANKING FINANCIAL COMPANIES The activities of non-banking financial companies (NBFCs) in India have undergone qualitative changes over the years through functional specialisation. The role of NBFCs as effective financial intermediaries has been well recognised as they have inherent ability to take quicker decisions, assume greater risks, and customise their services and charges more according to the needs of the clients. While these features, as compared to the banks, have contributed to the proliferation of NBFCs, their flexible structures allow them to unbundle services provided by banks and market the components on a competitive basis. The distinction between banks and non-banks has been gradually getting blurred since both the segments of the financial system engage themselves in many similar types of activities. At present, NBFCs in India have become prominent in a wide range of activities like hire-purchase finance, equipment lease finance, loans, investments, etc. By employing innovative marketing strategies and devising tailor-made products, NBFCs have also been able to build up a clientele base among the depositors, mop up public savings and command large resources as reflected in the growth of their deposits from public, shareholders, directors and other companies, and borrowings by issue of non-convertible debentures, etc. Consequently, the share of non-bank deposits in household sector savings in financial assets...

...A Synopsis On “COMPARATIVE STUDY OF NBFC AND ITS ROLE IN INDIAN ECONOMY” Submitted To: Submitted By: Dr. Kavita Chavali AARLA SIREESHA 10SBCMO125 FINANCE C Bangalore ALLIANCE UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF BUSINESS Page 1 INTRODUCTION Non-banking Financial Institutions carry out financing activities but their resources are not directly obtained from the savers as debt. Instead, these Institutions mobilize the public savings for rendering other financial services including investment. All such Institutions are financial intermediaries and when they lend, they are known as Non-Banking Financial Intermediaries (NBFIs) or Investment Institutions. Apart from these NBFIs, another part of Indian financial system consists of a large number of privately owned, decentralized, and relatively small-sized financial intermediaries. Most work in different, miniscule niches and make the market more broad-based and competitive. While some of them restrict themselves to fund-based business, many others provide financial services of various types. The entities of the former type are termed as "non-bank financial companies (nbfcs)". A robust banking and financial sector is critical for activating the economy and facilitating higher economic growth. Financial intermediaries like NBFCs have a definite and very important role in the financial sector, particularly in a developing economy like India. They are a vital link in the...

...interviewers give very little information in the beginning of the case and want you to probe for information. Some others however give a lot of information to see how you handle such enormous quantities of data. This case belongs to the latter category.) The year is 2000. The case we are about to discuss today is based on the financial services industry in India. Before I tell you about our client, I am going to give you some information about the industry structure.

Both these segments are highly regulated by the banking regulator but the key differences between the two segments are as follows: Commercial banks are typically national players whereas NBFCs are regional players the reason being that the former is a scale business NBFCs are not allowed by the banking regulator to offer an important product called checking accounts (or current accounts as it is called in certain countries) to their customers.
