π Change in Company Registration Status
π Background and Regulatory Context:

π Change in Registration Status:
The company applied on April 24, 2025, to surrender its Certificate of Registration (CoR) after meeting eligibility criteria to operate as an unregistered Core Investment Company (CIC). The RBI approved this and cancelled the CoR on July 17, 2025.
π’ Subsidiary's Conversion:
India Finsec's subsidiary, IFL Finance Limited (formerly IFL Housing Finance Limited), converted from a Housing Finance Company (HFC) to NBFC-ICC effective June 26, 2025. This reflects a business strategy realignment.
