According to RBI standards, an NBFC cannot do non-banking financial activities if it a) lacks a certificate of registration from a bank (save for NBFCs that are not regulated by the RBI) and b) lacks Net Owned Funds of Rs. 2 crore.
An NBFC formed under the Companies Act, 1956 or the Companies Act, 2013 that wishes to start a non-banking financing company should fulfil the following RBI guidelines:
· An NBFC License must be taken under the Section 3 of the Companies Act, 2013 or the Companies Act, 1956, as it is mandatory.
· It should fulfil the minimum criterion of Rs. 2 crore in Net Owned Funds (except for NBFC-MFIs, NBFC-Factors and CIC).

Net Owned Funds may be computed using the firm's most recent audited balance sheet. Total Owned Funds will consist of Paid-up Equity Capital, Free Reserves, Share Premium Account Balance, and Capital Reserve. Net Owned Funds are calculated by subtracting Revaluation Reserves, Accumulated Loss Balance, and the book value of Intangible Assets from Total Owned Funds. If any investment in shares of other NBFCs, debentures, or shares of subsidiaries and group businesses exceeds 10% of the owned funds, the Net Owned Funds would be deducted.
