DFIM Circular Letter No. 02: Issuance of Bond by NBFIs for collecting long term funds

Non-banking financial institutions are directed to avoid inter-bank transactions and instead raise long-term funds through bond issuance to mitigate liquidity risk and maintain independent liquidity. This directive addresses the practice of funding long-term lease operations with short-term sources, which has caused liquidity mismatches and payment difficulties for depositors. The instruction is issued under the authority of Section 18(c) of the Financial Institutions Act, 1993.
