What is a Nidhi Company?

A Nidhi Company is a special type of company formed under the Indian Companies Act with the objective of promoting the habit of thrift and savings among its members. It essentially operates as a mutual benefit society that accepts deposits from its members and lends money only to its members, creating a unique model of financial intermediation.

Nidhi Companies are typically restricted to working with their own members (individuals who are part of the company) and cannot lend or accept deposits from the general public. They play a significant role in fostering financial inclusion and enabling easier access to loans and financial services for individuals, especially those in small communities or rural areas.

Key Features of a Nidhi Company

Membership-Based A Nidhi Company can only lend and borrow money from its members. This means it primarily operates within a closed group of individuals.

Lending and Borrowing- Nidhi Companies accept deposits from members and provide loans to them, typically at low interest rates compared to traditional banks.

Mutual Benefit- The primary objective of a Nidhi Company is mutual benefit, focusing on helping members save money and access financial services like loans for personal, business, or educational needs.

Minimum Capital According to the Companies Act, a Nidhi Company must have a minimum paid-up capital of Rs. 5 lakhs. However, the company's capital can increase over time as the membership base grows.

Regulation- Nidhi Companies are regulated by the MCA, but they are exempted from certain NBFC regulations. The company must also comply with the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) guidelines, although they are not directly supervised by the RBI like other financial institutions.

Limited Operations- A Nidhi Company is limited in its operations. It cannot engage in business activities outside of lending, borrowing, and financial intermediation between its members. It is also not allowed to deal with foreign currency or make investments in real estate or capital markets.
