NIDHI COMPANY REGISTRATION

A Nidhi Company is recognized under the section 406 of The Companies Act, 2013 under the Indian non-banking finance sector. The core business activity of a nidhi company is borrowing and lending money between its members. They are also known as Benefit Funds, Mutual Benefit Funds, Permanent Fund and Mutual Benefit Company.

Nidhi companies are very popular in southern states in India. unlike an NBFC a Nidhi Company is not required to obtain a license from RBI, hence it is easy to incorporate.

Later within one year of its incorporation, when the number of shareholders has reached 200, then a separate application is filed before the ROC for grant of Nidhi Company Status. The Company cannot advertise asking for deposits from the public at large and shall keep its borrowing and advance activities to and from among its members.
