can LLP be formed to do NBFC business ?, if so is there any prior permission required from RBI / ROC for this purpose ?

Hi, In my view, RBI does not allow LLPs to do NBFC Business as the Definition of NBFC itself says - A Non-Banking Financial Company (NBFC) is a company registered under the Companies Act, 1956 and is engaged in the business of loans and advances, acquisition of shares/stock/bonds/debentures/securities issued by Government or local authority or other securities of like marketable nature, leasing, hire-purchase, insurance business, chit business but does not include any institution whose principal business is that of agriculture activity, industrial activity, sale/purchase/construction of immovable property. In fact RBI has even prohibited NBFCs form being partners in partnership firms including LLPs... So it has to be registered as a company, be it public or private for the same.... Regards

we are planning to work in stock market by opening demat account, so if we form company , it will be defined as investment company , which is by default treated as NBFC as per business code allotted by ROC . so which is best form of organization for this purpose ( Partnership Firm, LLP or Pvt Ltd Company ) we may take loan from outsiders in this organization.
