Quick answerRBI consolidated all directions for Securitisation Companies (SCs) and Reconstruction Companies (RCs) into a Master Circular as of July 2, 2007. It covers registration, exemptions from certain RBI Act provisions, quarterly reporting, and NAV disclosure for security receipts.

What changed

RBI issued a Master Circular compiling all existing instructions for SCs and RCs up to June 30, 2007. It includes application procedures for registration, exemptions from Sections 45-IA, 45-IB, and 45-IC of the RBI Act, quarterly statement requirements, and guidelines for declaring Net Asset Value of security receipts.

What it means for you

This circular provides a single reference point for SCs and RCs, simplifying compliance. Banks dealing with these entities can rely on this consolidated guidance for registration and reporting. The NAV disclosure requirement enhances transparency for Qualified Institutional Buyers investing in security receipts.

Historical instruction — do not use for current compliance. This is what was required at the time; it no longer reflects current RBI requirements. If no replacement rule is linked above, that only means none is recorded on our register yet — it does not prove no later applicable rule exists. Confirm on the official RBI source below.
