NBFCs borrowed short-term loans and lent them for long-term projects but faced cash flow issues when projects were delayed, exacerbated by lending to unethical developers. As NBFCs could no longer repay lenders due to dried cash flows, a government panel tried to recover money by selling off assets of affected groups. The crisis emerged from NBFCs' timing mismatch of short-term borrowing and long-term lending, worsened when a major NBFC mismanaged funds and defaulted on repayments, scaring away investors from rolling over NBFC debt.

NBFCs borrowed short term loans from banks and mutual funds.
Along with which they
were lending to developers of long-term projects. It got held up because of various factors. They also lent to unethical developers and wilful corporate defaulters. As cash flows dried up, NBFCs couldn’t repay their lenders. A government-appointed panel tried to recover the money by selling assets of the group.
The major reasons behind this crisis were-
1. Timing Mismatch: NBFCs have been borrowing money short term and have been lending it out long term. The problem started when IL&FS, i.e. one of the NBFC’s mismanaged its funds. As a result, it is now not able to pay back its creditors. The end result is that IL&FS stands exposed, and so does this faulty business model of the NBFCs. Since the IL&FS panic has scared the investors away, the NBFCs are not able to issue new debt in order to roll over the old debt.
