KIFS Financial Services Ltd

KIFS Financial Services Limited (KFSL) incorporated in March, 1995 is engaged in a single segment of finance. It offers capital market products like margin trading, loan against shares (LAS) and funding primary market issues for the retail investors like IPO/FPO applications. The Company is a non deposit taking non banking financial company registered with the Reserve Bank of India under the category of loan company. The Company duly surrendered its registration as an Investment Advisor under the SEBI (Investment Advisers) Regulations, 2013 during the financial year ended March 31, 2015. For a developing economy such as India, access to financial resources is critical to foster the development of the economy. Currently, in India, the banking outreach to certain segments is still lower. In such a situation, non- banking financial companies (NBFCs) have come to the rescue of unbanked areas for funding requirements. The financial issue of the Company changed materially over the past few years with non-banking financial companies, gaining share in the overall credit pie, even as banks have faced asset quality challenges. The year 2018 was a pivotal year for NBFCs. NBFCs have gone through a period of regulatory transition, most significantly in recognition of non-performing assets, which culminates this fiscal year 2024-25. The past 12 months also were eventful as non-banks navigated demonetization and are now addressing the impact of goods and services tax on their customers and business model. As a part of business expansion, Company is planning to enter the business of investment advisory and got itself registered with the Securities and Exchange Board of India.
