RBI to conduct special audit of IIFL Finance, JM Financial for regulatory breaches

The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has initiated a special audit for IIFL Finance Ltd and JM Financial Products Ltd due to regulatory breaches. It has invited bids from audit firms for conducting the audits, with the last date for submission being April 8.

IIFL Finance shares plunge after RBI bars firm from offering gold loans

Shares of IIFL Finance, an Indian non-banking finance company, dropped 20% after the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) barred the firm from offering gold loans due to "material supervisory concerns" in its portfolio. The RBI found serious deviations in collateral assessment, breaches in loan-to-value ratio limits, and lack of transparency in charges. A prolonged restriction may impact earnings, lower co-lending income and increase cost of finances. IIFL Finance stated that it has been taking corrective action and the impact on financials will depend on the resolution time.
