HOUSING FINANCE COMPANY REGISTRATION - AN OVERVIEW
A Housing Finance Company (HFC) is a specialized Non-Banking Financial Company that focuses on housing finance activities such as home purchase, construction, repair, and improvement loans.
Effective from August 9, 2019, the regulation of HFCs moved from the National Housing Bank (NHB) to the Reserve Bank of India (RBI). RBI now regulates HFCs under the applicable HFC directions and the Scale-Based Regulation (SBR) framework, while NHB continues to support the sector through refinance and certain housing finance functions.
A new HFC applicant is generally expected to maintain a minimum Net Owned Fund (NOF) of ₹20 crore. The proposed business model should also show that at least 50% of total assets are intended to be in housing finance so that housing finance remains the principal business.
At IncorpX, we provide assistance for the HFC registration process, including document preparation, policy drafting, filing support, and query-response coordination before RBI.
What is a Housing Finance Company?
A Housing Finance Company (HFC) is an NBFC whose principal business is providing finance for purchase/construction of residential houses. To qualify as an HFC, the company must meet specific asset composition requirements.
Key characteristics of HFC:

Principal Business: Housing finance should remain the dominant business activity.
Applicant Entity: The applicant should be incorporated as a company under the Companies Act, 2013.
Regulatory Authority: RBI (transferred from NHB in 2019).
Types of Housing Finance Loans:
Home Purchase Loans: Loans for buying residential property.
Home Construction Loans: Loans for building new houses on owned land.
Home Improvement Loans: Loans for renovation and repairs.
Plot Purchase Loans: Loans for buying land for house construction.
Important HFC Regulation!
HFCs are governed by RBI's HFC directions together with the Scale-Based Regulation framework. Applicants should plan for capital adequacy, governance, ALM, and a housing finance-led asset profile from the outset.

FAQs on HFC Registration
Starting a housing finance company involves specific regulatory requirements. We've compiled answers to help you understand the HFC registration process.
These FAQs cover eligibility, capital requirements, asset composition, and compliance for housing finance companies.
A Housing Finance Company (HFC) is an NBFC primarily engaged in housing finance. Under RBI's HFC framework, the principal business criteria require at least 50% of total assets to be in housing finance.
Since August 2019, Housing Finance Companies have been regulated by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI). The regulatory function moved from NHB to RBI, while NHB continues to play a sectoral role in areas such as refinance and certain housing finance functions.
For a new HFC application, the applicant company is generally expected to maintain a minimum Net Owned Fund (NOF) of ₹20 crore under the RBI framework for HFC registration.
An HFC should maintain at least 50% of total assets in housing finance so that housing finance remains its principal business under RBI's HFC directions.
HFCs may offer home purchase loans, home construction loans, home improvement loans, plot purchase loans, loans against residential property, and certain project or builder finance products subject to RBI norms and internal policies.
Acceptance of public deposits is not automatic. It is subject to RBI permission and the prudential conditions applicable to the relevant category of HFC.
NHB refinance is funding support made available by the National Housing Bank to eligible housing finance institutions. After the 2019 transfer of regulation, NHB continues to support the sector through refinance and related housing finance functions.
Registered HFCs may participate in housing-linked government schemes such as PMAY, subject to the applicable scheme guidelines, lender eligibility conditions, and RBI compliance requirements.
The HFC registration process typically takes 4 to 8 months, depending on document readiness, the quality of the application, and RBI's review timeline.
An existing NBFC may seek a change of category to HFC status, subject to RBI approval, compliance with HFC eligibility conditions, and alignment of its business profile with housing finance as the principal activity.
HFCs are regulated under RBI's Scale-Based Regulation (SBR) framework together with the directions applicable to housing finance companies. The framework covers capital adequacy, governance, risk management, and supervisory reporting.
Key documents include the company incorporation certificate, MOA and AOA, board resolutions, director KYC and credit reports, a statutory auditor certificate confirming NOF of ₹20 crore, source of funds evidence, business plan, IT readiness details, and policy documents such as the loan policy and Fair Practices Code.
If an HFC does not maintain the required housing finance asset profile, RBI may review its classification and ask the company to align with the applicable framework for its actual business model.
Yes. HFCs are required to complete statutory audit and maintain internal control, governance, and reporting systems in line with the Companies Act, 2013 and RBI's supervisory expectations.
IncorpX professional charges start at ₹69,999 for end-to-end assistance. Listed amounts are IncorpX professional charges for end-to-end assistance. Government / statutory fees are charged separately at actuals.
Unauthorised housing finance activity can attract action under Section 46 of the RBI Act, 1934, where penalties can extend up to ₹10 crore, along with consequences under applicable provisions of the National Housing Bank Act, 1987 and related directions.
The usual starting steps are:
Discuss the proposed housing finance model and eligibility position
Incorporate the applicant company under the Companies Act, 2013
Arrange and document the required NOF of ₹20 crore
Prepare the business plan, policies, and application papers
Submit the application through RBI's online system and respond to queries
