RBI Denies Plans to Cap NBFC Management Tenure, Dispelling Market Fears
•The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) is not considering capping the tenure or forcing rotation of top management in Non-Banking Financial Companies (NBFCs).
•This clarification comes after media reports last week suggested such a move, causing a sell-off in NBFC shares like Bajaj Finance and Shriram Finance.
•Unlike bank CEOs, NBFC CEO appointments currently do not require RBI permission, and their boards decide tenure and compensation.
•Brokerage firm Macquarie had warned that Bajaj Finance and Shriram Finance could be significantly impacted if regulatory arbitrage was lost.
•Bajaj Finance shares are down 15% and Shriram Finance shares are down 7% in the last month amid market uncertainty.
