How Company Law Board is protecting the interest of depositors

When an NBFC fails to repay any deposit or part there­of in accor­dance with the terms and con­di­tions of such deposit, the Com­pa­ny Law Board (CLB) either on its own motion or on an appli­ca­tion from the depos­i­tor, directs by order the Non-Bank­ing Finan­cial Com­pa­ny to make repay­ment of such deposit or part there­of forth­with or with­in such time and sub­ject to such con­di­tions as may be spec­i­fied in the order. After mak­ing the pay­ment, the com­pa­ny will need to file the com­pli­ance with the local office of the Reserve Bank of India.

As explained above, the depos­i­tor can approach CLB by mail­ing an appli­ca­tion in pre­scribed form to the appro­pri­ate bench of the Com­pa­ny Law Board accord­ing to its ter­ri­to­r­i­al juris­dic­tion along with the pre­scribed fee.
