Any NBFC is is considered systemically important NBFC when its asset size is of Rs ____ or more.
One doubt sir,,
here for systematically important NBFCs ke liye—-500 cr
for normal NBFCs assets size should be–100 cr?? m i right?
see ques 2 and 3 are related;; when NBFC has minimum net owned fund od rs 2 crore; they can start functioning like NBFC. when their asset reach 500 crore then they are systematically important NBFC. So for normal NBFC asset size is Rs 2 crore. Now even in NBFC there are various types of specialised NBFC that is a detailed topic and these all have different asset criteria set by RBI. but basically if asked for normal nbfc u can answer rs 2 crore
Okay…Thank You.:))

I have observed that over the course of developing a relationship with real estate proprietors, you’ll be able to get them to understand that, in each and every real estate financial transaction, a percentage is paid. In the long run, FSBO sellers really don’t “save” the percentage. Rather, they fight to win the commission by doing a great agent’s occupation. In accomplishing this, they devote their money as well as time to carry out, as best they might, the duties of an real estate agent. Those jobs include revealing the home by marketing, offering the home to all buyers, constructing a sense of buyer desperation in order to induce an offer, booking home inspections, taking on qualification check ups with the mortgage lender, supervising maintenance tasks, and assisting the closing of the deal.
