They offer a wide range of financial products and services that are boon for the public at large, such as Personal Loans, Business Loans, Vehicle Loans, Loan Against Property, and other credit facilities.
5. Manages Investments: NBFCs also provide investment opportunities to the public as they offer a wide range of mutual funds, fixed deposits, and other investment products, and they also provide investment advisory for investment-related schemes.
