Bangladesh which is the birth place of microfinance and also pioneer in the world for applying microfinance has NGO form of MFIs. This paper aims to compare the financial performance of NBFC MFIs in India and NGO MFIs in Bangladesh. The study is primarily based on secondary data. The variables, such as institutional characteristics, financing structure, outreach indicators, overall financial performance indicators, revenue and expenses, efficiency and risk and liquidity have been considered to analyse the financial performance of 27 Indian NBFC MFIs and 23 Bangladeshi NGO MFIs.
