The regulations mandate minimum paid-in capital, solvency ratios, and restrictions on investments, lending to affiliates, and dividend payouts to ensure financial stability and consumer protection. MFOs are required to maintain internal controls, submit regular financial reports, and adhere to specific operational prohibitions, such as bans on securities lending and professional securities market activities.
