NBFC for Sale in India
Today, in India, due to the instability in the economic sector since the last few years, businesses are being sold, bought, taken over, merged, or collaborated. The small banks, that were proliferating 5-6 years ago, have been taken over by the bigger ones or been merged. Their number has reduced by at least 30-40%, if not more. Similarly, the NBFC sector also has been impacted by these compromises and arrangements. Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has laid down specific procedures to be followed, for all these buying, selling, and other collaborations. The sale of NBFC is when an NBFC is being sold to another company in India. An NBFC can only be sold to another registered NBFC or an established Non-NBFC Company, as per RBI provisions.
NBFC sale would bring two companies together. For this transaction to be executed successfully, the balance sheet of the NBFC on sale has to stand at null. So that the buyer can take it over all its assets and liabilities.
To sell your NBFC, you need a buyer or an Acquirer. Your company or NBFC which is on sale is referred to as the Target Company.

Process of NBFC Sale
The first step is that the Board of Directors of both, the Target and the Acquirer companies, favour this sale, in a Resolution.
Once approval from the Board has been exacted, the Acquirer Company would need to go through the financials and administrative documents.
You both need to sign an MOU (Memorandum of Understanding). And you must take some token money as confirmation of buying, from the Acquirer.
Now get KYC Documents, Business Plan and Projection prepared for the next 5-years for the Directors of the Acquirer.
These documents are to be submitted to the regional office of RBI under whose jurisdiction your NBFC comes.
Resolve all queries of RBI.
Public notice is to be published when RBI approves of the deal, following its guidelines. It is to inform the general public that a sale/transaction is about to take place. And invite objections, if any, from the public or some other party involved.
After 31 days have passed of this notification and all disputes settled. Both companies can sign the Share Purchase Agreement. The management will be handed over. And you receive the balance payment. You and the Acquirer can decide another day for the transfer, before-hand.
Before this, all assets in your balance sheet are to be liquidated and liabilities are to be paid off. So the Acquirer gets a clean bank balance in the name of your NBFC. The net worth is to be calculated on the date of sale. RBI has also prescribed how to determine this net worth.
Entire sale procedure and getting RBI approval for change in management of the NBFC takes at least 2-3 months. And every step needs meticulous planning and thorough attention with constant follow-ups with RBI.
