GST number is not required. Money lender license is usually granted by the Revenue Department within 3 to 4 months from the date of submission of the application form. Once the application is received, it is valid for one year. However, there are a few factors that have to be taken into consideration while issuing/renewal/endorsement of a license:
Whether the person has the competency to run a money lending business. Whether the applicant’s premise is an apt place to run the business. Whether granting the permission would be against the public interest.
