🚨 Shine Loan & Curry Cash BANNED: RBI Cancels NY Leasing’s License Over Shady Lending — Another Fintech Falls

🚨 Shine Loan & Curry Cash BANNED: RBI Cancels NY Leasing’s License Over Shady Lending — Another Fintech Falls

🧨 At a Glance

  • RBI has officially cancelled the NBFC license of M/s N.Y. Leasing Pvt Ltd, operating via:
    • 🔹 Shine Loan App
    • 🔹 Curry Cash App
  • Reason? They violated RBI’s digital lending norms by:
    • Outsourcing KYC, loan disbursal, recovery & sourcing
    • Letting third-party app handlers do core lending decisions
  • Registered since 1998 — now blacklisted permanently

“You were supposed to disburse loans, not **disburse all your power to shady app handlers.” — RBI, probably.


🏚️ Company Details

FieldDetail
📛 NBFC NameM/s N.Y. Leasing Pvt Ltd
🏢 Registered AddressPlot No.-54A, 3rd Floor, Shiv Park, Sector-15, Dwarka, Delhi-110078
📆 CoR IssuedMarch 6, 1998
💥 CoR CancelledMay 29, 2025
🧑‍💻 Lending App NamesShine Loan App, Curry Cash App
👻 Operated ByBardhaman Fintech Pvt Ltd

🚩 What Did They Do Wrong?

As per RBI:

“The company outsourced all core lending operations to third-party fintech — including customer acquisition, KYC, disbursement, collection, and recovery.”

Let’s simplify:

  • They gave third parties full access to your personal data
  • Those parties probably never followed KYC rules properly
  • Recovery calls may have sounded more like threats than reminders

This violates RBI’s Fair Lending Code and Digital Lending Guidelines 2022.


⚖️ The Legal Angle: RBI’s Powers

Under Section 45-IA (6) of the RBI Act, 1934, the RBI has powers to:

  • Cancel NBFCs’ Certificate of Registration (CoR)
  • If they act against public interest or violate guidelines
  • Or if they conduct lending through unauthorized apps or agents

In this case, NY Leasing turned into a fintech puppet — and got axed.


🤳 What Are Shine Loan & Curry Cash?

Apps marketed as:

  • “Instant loans within 5 minutes”
  • “No paperwork required”
  • “Credit score not needed”

But here’s the real deal:

  • High-interest rates hidden behind T&Cs
  • Shady permissions (contacts, camera, storage access)
  • Recovery agents behaving like goons from a gangster movie

This is classic loan sharking masked as fintech innovation.


🔍 EduInvesting Red Flags from Day 1

Red FlagReality
🧾 No RBI-verified disclosures in appTrue
🔍 User reviews flagged privacy breachTrue
📞 Recovery harassment reportedYes
🧠 App permissions = spyware-level
💳 Loans given without proper KYCAs confirmed by RBI

This wasn’t innovation. This was digital loan extortion in startup clothes.


😡 What Happens to Borrowers?

  • Your loan agreements may now be void, especially if disbursed via these banned apps
  • You can report harassment or illegal collection practices to:
    • RBI’s Sachet Portal
    • Local police if threats involved
  • If your credit report is impacted, lodge disputes via CIBIL, Experian portals

📣 RBI’s Recent Crackdown Trend

This isn’t isolated.

RBI has recently:

  • 🔥 Banned over 200+ loan apps linked to Chinese servers
  • ⚰️ Cancelled CoRs of multiple NBFCs with fake lending fronts
  • 🚨 Warned the public about apps on Play Store that mimic RBI licenses

The message is clear: If you use ghost agents to issue loans, you’re getting ghosted from the NBFC list.


🤡 EduInvesting Take: Fintech or FinFake?

Bardhaman Fintech and NY Leasing turned into:

“The OnlyFans of lending — you click accept and end up financially naked.”

Instead of empowering small borrowers:

  • They dug debt traps
  • Used fear and shame for recovery
  • And outsourced responsibility like it’s a group project in college

RBI just graded them F and cancelled their degree.


👮‍♀️ What You Should Do as a Consumer

✅ DOs

  • Verify apps on RBI’s whitelisted digital lending apps
  • Only borrow from apps linked to banks or regulated NBFCs
  • Use official RBI portals to report harassment

❌ DON’Ts

  • Don’t give contact access to any random loan app
  • Don’t trust apps that say “no CIBIL, no KYC” — they’re probably fake
  • Don’t repay loans under fear if the lender isn’t RBI-approved

🎯 Final Thought

“Digital India was supposed to give us faster loans. Not faster heart attacks.”

With this cancellation, RBI just reminded the ecosystem:

You can’t run a lending business like a Telegram scam group.

Shine Loan and Curry Cash may have shined bright for a bit —
but they’ve burnt out in the regulatory stratosphere.
