Non-Banking Financial Companies (NBFCs) are institutions that provide financial services, but do not have a banking license. Their primary activities include providing loans and advances, investing in shares, stocks, bonds, debentures, securities, and other marketable securities. Therefore, the statement “NBFCs cannot give loans” is incorrect. Lending is one of the principal business activities of NBFCs.

NBFCs are financial institutions whose main functions include lending and investment.

Unlike banks, NBFCs cannot accept demand deposits, cannot issue cheques drawn on themselves, and deposits with NBFCs are not covered by the Deposit Insurance and Credit Guarantee Corporation (DICGC). They are registered under the Companies Act, 2013, and regulated by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI).
