There is no such ban in India rather Money lender license is required as per provisions of Money Laundering Act.

Yes, lending money by individual without licence under Money Lending Act is a criminal offence and one may be punished for imprisionment as per act. This act differs state to state.

Mr. Raj, Money Laundering Act and Money Lending Act are different laws. I agree with Mr. Yadav.
