Airtel Money, a subsidiary of Bharti Airtel, has received approval from the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) to operate as a Type II non-banking financial company (NBFC).
The company said it has been granted a Certificate of Registration allowing it to commence the business of nonbanking financial institution without accepting public deposits.
“The Company is having a valid Certificate of Registration dated 13/02/2026 issued by Reserve Bank of India under section 45 IA of the Reserve Bank of India Act, 1934,” the company said in its regulatory filing.
