Start a Microfinance Company Under Section 8 – No RBI Approval Needed

Blog Article

A Section 8 Microfinance Company is a not-for-profit entity that provides small loans to low-income individuals or self-help groups without the need for RBI approval. Registered under the Companies Act, 2013, these companies promote financial inclusion, especially in rural and underserved areas, by offering easy access to micro-credit for income-generating activities.


Unlike NBFCs, a Section 8 Microfinance Company does not require a minimum capital of ₹5 crore or RBI registration, making it a practical option for social entrepreneurs and NGOs. However, the company must be registered with the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) and obtain licenses such as PAN, TAN, bank account, and sometimes local approvals based on operations.
