    RBI issues draft circular on declaration of dividend by NBFCs

    With a view to ensure financial discipline and transparency, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) on Tuesday proposed guidelines for non-banking financial companies (NBFCs) for declaring dividends.

    Under the proposed norms, only those NBFCs that meet the prescribed prudential requirements would be allowed to declare and distribute dividends.

    One of the norms prescribed by the RBI is that the net non-performing asset (NPA) ratio of NBFCs should be less than 6 per cent in each of the last three years, including the accounting year for which it proposes to declare dividend.

    "In order to infuse greater transparency and uniformity in practice, it has been decided to prescribe guidelines on distribution of dividend by NBFCs," said the draft circular on which the RBI has invited comments from the stakeholders by December 24.
