Legal Question in Banking Law in India

Hi,

I am an entrepreneur looking to set up a bill discounting platform where individual investors can provide loans to small companies. The loan is basis assignment of an invoice (receivable) by the company to the individual investor. Would this be considered Factoring under Indian Factoring Regulation 2011 (which states that if a transaction is factoring, only an NBFC can do factoring with RBI License) or would it be a individual contract governed by Contract Law?

Regards,

Madhu
