Master Circular – Returns to be submitted by Housing Finance Companies (HFCs)
This is the official, updated rulebook for all registered Housing Finance Companies (HFCs) detailing what financial and operational returns must be submitted to the National Housing Bank, how often, and by what deadline. The summary consolidates and updates previous reporting requirements into a single reference. It specifies that all reporting must be done online through the CRaMIS portal. The rules apply differently depending on whether an HFC takes deposits and on its asset size, with larger companies and deposit-takers having more frequent and extensive reporting obligations. The document itself is an updated version of an existing set of rules; it does not announce a one-time action with a specific deadline, but rather defines the ongoing reporting schedule that HFCs must follow. There is a warning that delayed submission of returns will result in penal action.
