the past few years and has come to be recognized as a systemically
important element of the financial system. Non-banking financial
companies (NBFCs) posted decent growth in revenues and profits in the
last quarter, despite higher provisioning. The Reserve Bank of India,
which has been continually strengthening the supervisory framework for
the sector, had asked NBFCs to make a 0.25% provision on standard
assets or performing loans. Of the 355 NBFCs selected for this study,
46% was found to have increased their efficiency during the third
quarter of the fiscal. Aggregate income of 355 NBFCs rose 27.2% to Rs
24,156 crores during October-December 2010 from Rs. 18,991 crores.
Their combined net profit posted a higher rise, increasing by 36.5% to
Rs. 5,123 crore, resulting in a sharp increase in return on total
income of 21.21% in the quarter under review from 19.76%.
