WHAT IS NIDHI COMPANY ?
A Nidhi Company is a significant type of company in the Indian non-banking financial sector authorised under Section 406 of the Companies Act, 2013, whose primary activity is inter-member borrowing and lending. Permanent Fund, Benefit Funds, Quasi-Bank, Mutual Benefit Funds, and Mutual Benefit Company are additional names for Nidhi Company. They fall under the category of an Indian non-bank financial company (NBFC). Their main goals while forming the organisation were to promote reserve fund building and member savings. The business accepts deposits from its members and exclusively lends money to all of them for mutual gain.
Nidhi corporations are governed by the Nidhi Rules, 2014. As a result of its incorporation as a public limited company, they are subject to two sets of regulations: the Businesses Act of 2013’s requirements for public limited companies and the 2014’s Nidhi Rules. Within a year of incorporation, any Nidhi firm must guarantee that it has at least 200 members.
The Ministry of Corporate Affairs, which oversees them, has the authority to give them directives regarding the acceptance of deposits. Considering that these businesses solely interact with their shareholders.
The “Principle of Mutuality” is the main idea behind it. It is more common in South India, and Tamil Nadu is home to 80% of Nidhi enterprises.
