Navi Finserv, led by Sachin Bansal, has canceled its proposed INR 1 Lakh Cr bond sale following regulatory scrutiny.
The non-banking finance company (NBFC) had planned to raise funds through the issuance of two-year and three-month bonds.
The cancellation comes after the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) prohibited Navi and three other NBFCs from sanctioning new loans due to excessive interest rates charged to microloan borrowers.
Navi Finserv's decision to withdraw the bond sale comes amidst its parent company's plan for an IPO, with the proceeds intended for investments in Navi Finserv and Navi General Insurance.
