The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has directed Sachin Bansal’s Navi Finserv and three other non-banking financial companies (NBFCs) to immediately stop sanctioning and disbursing loans due to supervisory concerns.
The RBI's action is in response to excessive interest rates and non-compliance with its regulations. The NBFCs were found to have pricing policies that violated RBI guidelines.
Additionally, the NBFCs were flagged for discrepancies in assessing household incomes and ensuring appropriate loan repayment terms.
The restrictions will remain until Navi and the other firms take corrective actions to the satisfaction of the RBI.
