NBFC Takeover

Structuring and RBI approval for change in control of an existing NBFC

Taking over an existing NBFC is often faster than a fresh registration, but it carries its own regulatory path — RBI approval for change in control, due diligence on the target entity, and careful structuring of the transaction. We manage this process from target assessment through RBI sign-off.
