The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has introduced new regulations for non-banking financial companies facilitating peer-to-peer lending (NBFC-P2P) to tackle malpractice and enhance transparency. The updated guidelines prohibit NBFC-P2Ps from assuming any credit risk and require them to disclose loan portfolio performance and lenders' losses. In addition, all transactions on P2P platforms must go through escrow accounts operated by a bank-promoted trustee, with funds needing to be transferred to borrower's or lender's bank accounts within a day. These measures aim to protect lenders and borrowers from potential risks and prevent misuse of funds.
