Which of these MFIs are NOT regulated by the RBI?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. Non-profit MFIs.
- The Non-profit MFIs are not regulated by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI).
- Unlike NBFC MFIs or bank-led MFIs, which are subject to RBI's regulatory framework, non-profit MFIs operate independently and are typically governed by their own set of rules.
- These institutions often focus on providing microfinance services to underserved populations but do not fall under RBI’s supervision.
- Therefore, the regulatory oversight that applies to other MFIs, such as Small Finance Bank led MFIs, does not apply to non-profit MFIs.
