As many as five non-banking financial companies (NBFCs) have surrendered their certificates of registration (CoR) to Reserve Bank of India (RBI) due to their exit from the non-banking financial institution (NBFI) business. Separately, RBI cancelled the registration of four NBFCs, one each from Uttar Pradesh (UP), Tamil Nadu (TN), Punjab and Himachal Pradesh.
 
Those whose registration has been cancelled by RBI include UP-based Kundles Motor Finance Pvt Ltd, TN-based Nithya Finance Ltd, Punjab-based Bhatia Hire Purchase Pvt Ltd and Himachal Pradesh-based Jiwanjyoti Deposits and Advances Ltd.
