NBFC Account Aggregator License in Rajasthan

Rajasthan's economy runs on gems and jewellery centred in Jaipur, a large textile sector, tourism, and mining of marble and other stone — alongside one of India's strongest MSME trading cultures. For Rajasthan's financial services ecosystem, a licensed Account Aggregator is the infrastructure layer that lets local lenders and platforms move from manual document collection to instant, consented data access.

Whether you're a fintech or financial institution based in Rajasthan, StartRight4U's team prepares your AA application to withstand RBI's technical and financial scrutiny from the first submission.

NBFC Account Aggregator License — What It Actually Is

Under RBI's Master Direction on Non-Banking Financial Company – Account Aggregator, an Account Aggregator is a licensed NBFC whose sole permitted business is retrieving a customer's financial information — bank account statements, mutual fund holdings, GST returns, insurance records — from the institution that holds it, and delivering it to the institution that needs it, only after the customer has given explicit, purpose-bound, revocable consent through a standardised consent artefact. The data passes through the AA encrypted; the AA itself is legally barred from reading, storing, or processing it for any other purpose.

This is the backbone of India's Account Aggregator ecosystem, coordinated through Sahamati, and it now underpins instant loan underwriting, wealth onboarding, and insurance issuance across the financial sector — replacing PDF statement uploads with a verified, consent-driven data pull that takes seconds instead of days.

Who Needs an Account Aggregator License

Any company that wants to operate as the consent-based data bridge between Financial Information Providers (banks, depositories, insurers, mutual funds) and Financial Information Users (lenders, wealth platforms, advisors) must be licensed as an NBFC-AA before going live — this is not an optional registration but a hard regulatory gate, since AAs sit in the direct data path of millions of customers' financial records.

Eligibility for NBFC-AA License

• A Companies Act, 2013 entity with Account Aggregation stated as its principal business objective
• Net Owned Funds of at least ₹2 crore, maintained continuously post-registration
• Promoters and directors who clear RBI's fit-and-proper screening — no defaults, no economic-offence history
• A single-line business — an AA is barred from lending, investing, or any activity beyond moving consented data
• Technology infrastructure certified against Sahamati's API, consent-artefact, and information-security standards

Documents Needed to Apply

• Incorporation certificate, MOA/AOA with the AA objects clause
• CA-certified net worth statement supported by audited financial statements
• Technology and data-security architecture document mapped to Sahamati specifications
• Signed board resolution approving the license application
• Director/KMP KYC, PAN, and professional credentials
• A business plan detailing the FIU/FIP network the applicant intends to onboard

How the Registration Process Works

1. Set up the company (or update its MOA) with Account Aggregation as the stated business
2. Build the technology platform to Sahamati's consent-flow and encryption requirements
3. Compile the NOF certificate, security documentation, and business plan
4. Submit the formal application to RBI via the COSMOS portal
5. Go through RBI's technical and financial review, including scrutiny of the consent architecture
6. Clear in-principle approval and any residual technology sign-off, then receive the Certificate of Registration
