The Certified Associate of the Indian Institute of Bankers test syllabus has changed for exams in 2023 and later. In order to pass the Central Banking 2023 exam, CAIIB candidates need to understand what topics have been added to the old Central Banking study material.  

We have allowed ourselves to give a few details about the NBFCs that could appear in the CAIIB 2023 Tests.

CAIIB CENTRAL BANKING 2023 NEW MODULE | IIBF CAIIB REVISED SYLLABUS

In the CAIIB curriculum, nearly all of the examinations have changed, including the fifth Central Banking Elective Paper (CAIIB). Only Module E has changed from the Central Banking Syllabus 2023 Examinations provided by the Indian Institute of Banking and Finance. Other than this, the remaining modules of the Central Banking Exam are exactly the same:

A-Module = Rationale & Functions of the Central Bank

B-Module = Central Banking in India

C-Module = Monetary Policy and Credit Policy

D-Module = Supervision and Financial Stability

(New) E-Module = Non-Banking Financial Companies and Primary Dealers

So, the Central Banking syllabus has only been extended with respect to the 2023 Exams & nothing else has been reduced in the relevant Central Banking topics & concepts.

While Non-banking financial companies (Residuary non-banking companies) are companies whose primary business is to receive deposits in one lump sum or in instalments by way of contributions or in any other way under any scheme or arrangement.
