RBI directs CICs and CIs to implement credit information reporting mechanism to the cancellation of the licence/CoR of banks/Non-Banking Finance Companies (NBFCs)

The Reserve Bank of India directs CICs and CIs to implement a credit information reporting mechanism subsequent to the cancellation of the licence/CoR of banks/ Non-Banking Finance Companies (NBFCs). These CIs shall continue to report credit information of the borrowers on-boarded and reported to CICs prior to cancellation of their licence or CoR to all the four CICs till the loan lifecycle is completed or the credit institution is wound up, whichever is earlier.

CICs shall tag these CIs as “Licence Cancelled Entities” in the CIR. CICs shall base this tagging on the information available on the website of the Reserve Bank of India or the cancellation of licence order received from RBI. These CIs shall have access to Credit Information Reports pertaining to only those borrowers which were onboarded and reported to CICs before the cancellation of their licence/CoR. CICs shall not charge the annual and membership fees from these CIs.
