Microfinance Company Registration

About Our Service

What is Microfinance Company Registration?  

A Microfinance Company provides small loans and financial assistance to low-income individuals or groups who lack access to traditional banking. These institutions help promote financial inclusion and rural development by offering credit, savings, and insurance services to underserved communities.

In India, a microfinance company must be registered as a Non-Banking Financial Company (NBFC-MFI) under the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) guidelines. To qualify, it must have a minimum net owned fund of ₹5 crore (₹2 crore for Northeastern states) and must meet specific RBI criteria regarding loan limits and borrower eligibility.

Ebizfiling helps entrepreneurs form and register their microfinance companies legally, ensuring that every step  from company incorporation to RBI approval  is handled smoothly and efficiently.
