Shares of Bajaj Finance Rise 7% as the RBI Lifts the November Ban

 

The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) lifted the prohibition that had prevented the non-banking financial company (NBFC) from authorizing and disbursing loans for its eCOM and Insta EMI Card products, which caused Benzinga - Bajaj Finance (NS:BJFN) shares to soar on Friday morning.

What transpired: In November, the RBI enforced this limitation as a result of non-adherence to digital lending regulations.

Bajaj Finance declared that it may now start approving and paying out loans under these two categories after the restriction was lifted.
