A Nidhi company derives its name from the literal meaning of "Nidhi," which translates to "fund," "finance," or "treasure." It is a type of non-banking financial institution in Kerala, primarily involved in borrowing and lending activities within a limited circle of members or shareholders. These companies promote thrift, savings, and fund accumulation among members by accepting deposits and providing loans exclusively to them, fostering mutual benefits.
Limited RBI Regulations: Nidhi companies enjoy regulatory leniency compared to other NBFCs, with fewer requirements imposed by the Reserve Bank of Kerala (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.
