NABFINS

NABFINS is an initiative of NABARD born out of serious concerns about the practices of NBFC MFIs in the mid-2000. Entrusted with the responsibility of promoting the microfinance sector besides scaling up SHG-Bank Linkage, NABARD thought it was fit to form a Micro Finance institution on a pilot basis with the objective of developing it as a model NBFC MFI in the country which will facilitate the setting up of benchmarks and standards for the MFI sector. In particular, NABFINS objective was to ensure that the various maladies found in the sector such as lack of transparency in accounting and disclosure, high transaction cost, lack of diversification in products, increased rates of interest, coercive collection practices, etc. are sought to be eliminated by establishing a fair and transparent Micro Finance Institution. NABFINS provides microfinance and other financial services to the needy and disadvantaged sections of the society for securing their prosperity in rural, semi-urban, and urban areas.
