  • Upper Layer: This layer will be home to the top 10 qualifying nbfcs in terms of asset size;
  • Top Layer: If the regulator thinks that certain nbfcs in the higher layer are significantly increasing the potential risk, this layer may fill up.
  • With few exclusions, the minimum amount of net owned funds for all nbfcs will increase to 10 crore Rupees.
  • With few exclusions, the net owned fund requirement will increase for all NBFCs to 10 crore Rupees.
