But, these companies have been found not following these rules as on January 31,2018.
The FIU released the list on its website showing the names of NBFCs which have been found non-compliant to the PMLA rules.
ADANI CAPITAL PRIVATE LIMITED, Anand Corporate Holdings Pvt.
Ltd., Arihant Udyog Ltd., Asian Financial Services Ltd., AVON MONEY SOLUTION INDIA LIMITED, Bindal Finvest., Bombay Gas Co Ltd., CELLO CAPITAL PRIVATE LIMITED, Dlf Finvest Limited, Eros Merchants (P) Ltd, and Indigo Fincap Pvt Ltd are few of the companies listed by FIU.
After demonetisation in 2016, NBFCs and several other rural and urban cooperative banks had come under the scanner of the Income Tax Department and the Enforcement Directorate (ED) for illegally converting banned currency notes.
