Find attached herewith a useful file for your reference.

For functioning as an NBFC, a company is required to arrange a licence/certificate of registration from RBI under section 45 IA of the RBI Act, 1934.

The checklist for formation of NBFC mentions the following :

"Certifying compliance with section 45S of Chapter IIIC of the RBI Act, 1934 in which director/s of the company has substantial interest."

Can you please elaborate on this... What they want is a declaration or something else...
