Annual NBS-7 Return Mandate for NBFC-ND-SI

Current & verified — this is the latest version

Source: Reserve Bank of India · RBI/2006-2007/355 · issued 27 Apr 2007 · ~1 min read

Quick answerSystemically Important NBFCs (assets size of Rs 100 crore and above) must file an annual statement of capital funds and risk asset ratio (NBS-7) within three months from the close of the financial year each year, starting with the year ending March 31, 2007. Electronic submission requires a user-id from RBI's Information Division; a signed hard copy goes to the regional office.

The rule, in the simplest words

NBFCs with assets of Rs 100 crore or more and not taking deposits must file a yearly report called NBS-7.
The report shows how much money the company has (capital funds) and how risky its loans are (risk asset ratio).
The report must be sent to RBI by June 30 every year, for the year ending March 31.
You send the report online after getting a special login from RBI, and also mail a signed paper copy to your local RBI office.
The first report is due by June 30, 2007, for the year ending March 31, 2007.

How it plays out — a real example

Ravi, the compliance officer at a large NBFC with Rs 500 crore in assets, marks his calendar: every year within three months of March 31, he must file the NBS-7 return. He first gets a user-id from RBI's Information Division, then submits the capital and risk data online, and mails a signed copy to his regional RBI office.

What changed

RBI advised NBFC-ND-SI entities to put in place a system for submission of an annual statement in form NBS-7, replacing earlier guidance. The first return is for the year ending March 31, 2007, to be submitted within three months. Electronic submission was enabled via a new web-based system.

What it means for you

NBFC-ND-SI firms now have a fixed annual compliance cycle for capital and risk reporting. This tightens supervisory oversight and ensures timely data flow to RBI.

What you must do

File NBS-7 annually by June 30 for the preceding March year-end.
Obtain user-id and password from RBI's Information Division for electronic submission.
Submit a signed hard copy of NBS-7 to your regional RBI office.
Ensure first return covers March 31, 2007, and is submitted by June 30, 2007.

Who it affects

Systemically Important NBFCs (non-deposit taking, assets size of Rs 100 crore and above), RBI's Department of Non-Banking Supervision
