Mumbai , March 22

THE Reserve Bank of India plans to work out a roadmap for helping non-banking finance companies to increase their asset base.

The central bank had convened a meeting of NBFC representatives recentlyto elicit their views.

The RBI Governor, Dr Y.V. Reddy, clarified that NBFCs were given the option to voluntarily move out of public deposits if the regulatory costs outweighed benefits, said a press release from RBI. Promising help in terms of training and technology to the NBFCs, the Governor urged them to adopt technological changes including on-line reporting.

The NBFCs demanded a level playing field with housing finance companies in matters like funding from banks and access to refinancing institutions. .
