Nidhi Company

A company registered under the companies act 2013, with a sole objective of carefully budgeting money is known as a Nidhi Company. It takes money deposits from its member to lend it to its members. Thus, the funds collected or owned by a Nidhi company are for its members and are used by them only.

Nidhi company is a class of NBFCs and RBI and is empowered to issue directions to them in matters relating to their deposit acceptance activities. However, in recognition of the fact that these Nidhis deal with their shareholder-members only, RBI has exempted the notified Nidhis from the core provisions of the RBI Act and other directions applicable to NBFCs. Therefore, Nidhi Company is an ideal entity to take the deposit from and lend to a specific group of people.
