Money lending business is regulaed by the money lenders act of the state concerned.Most of the state Acts require any person including companies and corporates to obtain license undeer the Act to cary on the business of money lending. RBI does not grant licenses for the business. However if the Company proposes to accept deposits from the public, then it has to register itself as NBFC under the RBI Act.
