While the industry is dominated by five large groups, there has been an emergence of newer entrants in niche segments like affordable housing &self-employed; borrowers, given the high potential in these segments. Despite increased focus by banks, HFCs have been able to maintain their share in the mortgage market &has; remained stable at ~37% as on December 2015.The nature of the HFC business (dealing largely with retail customers in the potentially sensitive area of housing/ mortgages), along with the additional regulatory &control; mechanisms imposed as a result, means it is imperative that all functions &processes; align &comply; with sound risk management guidelines &applicable; regulations/ controls proactively &judiciously.; This is vital for managing risk &protecting; interests of both the business as well as the customer.While the core responsibility for this function is to control the business via robust underwriting &risk; management,
