Understanding the RBI's CFSS Mandate for NBFCs

Updated On : June 2023

What is CFSS?

CFSS, short for Core Financial Services Solution, is a regulatory requirement issued by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) for Non-banking Finance Companies (NBFCs) in India. The mandate stipulates that NBFCs operating with 10 or more branches must implement the Core Banking Solution. This means that these NBFCs are obligated to adopt a centralized system to manage their financial services.

Furthermore, NBFCs with 10 or more fixed point service delivery units in the upper and middle layers are required to implement CFSS by September 30, 2025. However, for NBFCs with fewer than 10 fixed point service delivery units, the adoption of CFSS is not mandatory. Nevertheless, it is advisable for them to consider implementing CFSS as it can contribute to the smooth functioning of their business operations.

CFSS is a comprehensive platform that automates the complete operational process of NBFCs, ensuring a smooth and hassle-free customer experience. By integrating NBFC functions into a centralised database, CFSS provides anytime, anywhere services and accounting records. Additionally, the platform includes management information systems (MIS) for efficient regulatory reporting.

What is the purpose of the RBI's mandate for the implementation of a CFSS by NBFCs?

The RBI introduced CFSS in order to exert more automation-based control over NBFCs. The primary objective of the RBI is to facilitate the automation of NBFC operations, aligning them with the growing customer demands. By embracing CFSS solution, NBFCs can enhance transparency for depositors and enable effective business monitoring. It is similar to the core banking solution used by the banks.
