🧨 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
Field | Detail |
---|---|
📛 NBFC Name | M/s N.Y. Leasing Pvt Ltd |
🏢 Registered Address | Plot No.-54A, 3rd Floor, Shiv Park, Sector-15, Dwarka, Delhi-110078 |
📆 CoR Issued | March 6, 1998 |
💥 CoR Cancelled | May 29, 2025 |
🧑💻 Lending App Names | Shine Loan App, Curry Cash App |
👻 Operated By | Bardhaman 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 Flag | Reality |
---|---|
🧾 No RBI-verified disclosures in app | True |
🔍 User reviews flagged privacy breach | True |
📞 Recovery harassment reported | Yes |
🧠 App permissions = spyware-level | ✅ |
💳 Loans given without proper KYC | As 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.
