The deposit acceptanceactivities of these companies are governed by the provisions of Residuary Non-Banking Companies (Reserve Bank) Directions 1987. To safeguard the interest of depositors, the RBI has directed RNBCs to invest not less than 80% of aggregate deposit liabilities as per the investment pattern prescribed by it. They can invest only 20% of aggregate liabilities or 10 times of its net worth, whichever is lower in a manner decided by its Board of Directors.
