New year brings stricter regulatory oversight for HFCs
Financial Express Chandigarh|January 02, 2025

SACHIN KUMAR

The revised norms are likely to nudge HFCs to borrow more from the money market, which could increase the borrowing cost by 20-30 basis points.

In the revised norms announced in August last year, the central bank reduced the ceiling on the quantum of public deposits by deposit-taking HFCs from three times to 1.5 times of net-owned funds.

The reduction of the limit by RBI will impact the ability of the housing finance companies to raise deposits.
