Nidhi Companies are registered Limited Companies involved in taking deposits and lending to their members. The activities of a Nidhi Company does fall under the purview of Reserve Bank of India, as it is similar to an NBFC. However, as Nidhi Companies ONLY deal with shareholder-members money, RBI has exempted Nidhi Companies from the core provisions of the RBI and other regulations applicable to an NBFC.
Limited RBI Regulations: Nidhi companies enjoy regulatory leniency compared to other NBFCs, with fewer requirements imposed by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) and exemptions from stringent provisions applicable to NBFCs.
Less Risky Proposition: Nidhi companies generally operate within a closed circle of members. This reduces the risk associated with lending and borrowing activities.
Simple Procedure of Formation: The formation process of a Nidhi company is relatively simple compared to other financial institutions. It requires a minimum of seven members and three directors to start with.
Limited Credit Availability: Nidhi companies typically have limited credit availability, as they primarily provide loans to their members only. This focused lending approach allows for better management of loan portfolios and reduces risk.
Registering as a Nidhi Company offers many benefits. It helps:
