Nidhi Company

What is a Nidhi Company?  

“Nidhi” is a Hindi word, which means finance or fund.

A Nidhi Company is a type of Non-Banking Financial Company (NBFC) registered under the Companies Act, 2013. Its main objective is to cultivate the habit of saving and thrift among its members. A Nidhi Company can only accept deposits and lend money to its members, making it a community-based finance system.

Unlike other NBFCs, a Nidhi Company does not require RBI approval to operate. However, it must follow the rules prescribed by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA). It is an affordable and simple way for small groups to provide financial assistance to their members.
