Which of the following is not true about Small Finance Bank?

  • A.Maximum loan size to a single person cannot exceed 10% of total capital funds; cannot exceed 15% in the case of a group.
  • B.At least 50% of its loans should constitute loans and advances of up to 25 lakh.
  • C.Minimum paid-up equity capital requirement of Small Finance Banks is Rs 100 crore.
  • D.They can set up subsidiaries to undertake non-banking financial service activities.

Answer: D

Correct answer: They can set up subsidiaries to undertake non-banking financial service activities.

This is the statement that is not true. The RBI's guidelines expressly bar a Small Finance Bank from setting up subsidiaries for non-banking financial service activities. The model is deliberately narrow - the bank is to concentrate on basic deposit-taking and lending to underserved segments rather than build a financial conglomerate.

The other three are correct: minimum paid-up equity capital of ₹100 crore, at least 50 per cent of the loan portfolio in advances of up to ₹25 lakh, and single-borrower exposure capped at 10 per cent of capital funds and group exposure at 15 per cent.
