ANSWER: All of the above
 
RBI has revised norms for NBFC firms stipulating that there should be on board approved limit for underwriting commitments with the aim to mitigate credit risk. RBI has also raised threshold for reporting frauds from INR 25 lakh to INR 1 crore for NBFC. Another point is that factoring services should be extended in respect of invoices which represent genuine trade transactions. Factoring business is a financial service whereby firm sells accounts receivable for the factoring company which then pays discounted value to seller under receivable receipts. As far as NPA classification is concerned, factoring with resource basis is where exposure would be reckoned on the assignor.
