Why it matters if you borrow or pay

  • Second microfinance SRO — RBI recognition gave NBFC-MFIs a choice between MFIN and Sa-Dhan.
  • Publishes the Bharat Microfinance Report, the sector's main data benchmark.
  • Claims 200+ member institutions but publishes no public member directory — roster visibility is a gap this tracker flags.

What we're watching

  • No public member list; membership data only via its report/portal.
  • Watch its stricter member norms (2024) translate into visible discipline actions.
