    Solution

    IFCs - infrastructure finance companies “Infrastructure Finance Company” means a non-deposit taking NBFC that fulfils the following criteria: (a) a minimum of 75 per cent of its total assets deployed in “infrastructure loans”; (b) Net owned funds of ₹300 crore or above; (c) minimum credit rating of 'A' issued by any of the SEBI-registered Credit Rating Agencies; (d) CRAR of 15 per cent (with a minimum Tier I capital of 10 per cent).

The Reserve Bank of India (RBI), which regulates the functioning of IFCs, does not have any such requirement.
