History of Small Finance Banks in India

Small Finance Banks are a new category of Banks announced by the RBI in July 2014, when the draft guidelines for small finance banks was made public.

By February 2015, RBI had received applications from 72 applicants and an external advisory committee headed by Usha Thorat was constituted to evaluate the applicants.

The 10 companies that received licenses today come from this group of applicants.

Benefits of Small Finance Bank Licenses
Small Finance Banks licenses are more restrictive than a regular bank license, such as one given to State Bank of India (SBI) or ICICI Bank.

While small finance banks can undertake fundamental banking activities such as deposit taking and lending, they are not allowed to set up subsidiaries.

Also the loan ticket size is much smaller in Small Finance Banks compared to regular banks.

RBI has mandated that the activities of promoters of small finance banks should not be mixed with banking operations.
