The National Housing Bank (NHB) plans to set up a mortgage finance company in association with two or three partners including development banks by the end of this fiscal.

The application for mortgage finance company will be sent to RBI by January next year and the new company expected to start operating from April 1, 2012.

NHB's net profit was flat for 2010-11 at Rs 279 crore, against Rs 280 crore a year ago. Even as NHB's net and gross non-performing assets were ‘nil', its collection efficiency was 100 per cent, said Verma conceding that net interest margin was under pressure in 2010, which affected the bottom line.

NHB will focus on market infrastructure development to bring stability in the housing market.
