18 July 2024 For the purpose of calculating the total asset size of a Non-Banking Financial Company (NBFC), the assets typically considered include both financial and non-financial assets. Here’s a breakdown of the assets usually taken into account:

1. **Financial Assets:**
- **Cash and Bank Balances:** This includes cash on hand and balances held in bank accounts.
- **Investments:** Any investments made by the NBFC, such as shares, bonds, debentures, mutual funds, and other securities.
- **Loans and Advances:** Any loans extended by the NBFC, including loans to customers and other entities.
- **Other Financial Assets:** Any other financial assets held by the NBFC, such as receivables from other financial institutions, inter-corporate deposits, etc.

2. **Non-Financial Assets:**
- **Fixed Assets:** Tangible assets held for use in the business, such as land, buildings, plant and machinery, vehicles, furniture, etc.
- **Intangible Assets:** Non-physical assets that provide economic benefits to the NBFC, such as goodwill, patents, trademarks, etc.
- **Other Assets:** Any other assets not falling under financial assets category, such as inventories (if applicable), prepaid expenses, etc.

### Exclusions:
- Assets like deferred tax assets, certain types of receivables (e.g., recoverable from employees), and assets not considered part of the regular operations of the NBFC may be excluded.

### Calculation of Total Asset Size:
The total asset size of an NBFC is the sum total of all the assets mentioned above. This calculation is crucial for regulatory purposes, as it helps determine the categorization and compliance requirements of the NBFC under applicable regulations.

### Regulatory Guidelines:
- Regulatory authorities, such as the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) in India, provide specific guidelines on how to calculate and report the total asset size of NBFCs.
- NBFCs are often required to maintain a certain level of capital adequacy and adhere to prudential norms based on their asset size.

It’s important for NBFCs to accurately report their total asset size as per regulatory requirements and ensure compliance with applicable guidelines to maintain operational transparency and financial stability.
