About Nidhi Company Registration
A Nidhi Company is a type of non-banking financial company (NBFC) primarily focused on borrowing and lending money among its members. Governed by the Companies Act, 2013, and the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) regulations, Nidhi Companies promote the habit of savings and provide easy access to credit for their members.
To register a Nidhi Company in India, you must have a minimum of three directors and seven members. Unlike other companies, Nidhi Companies can only accept deposits and provide loans to their members, fostering a mutual benefit community. This structure is ideal for cooperative savings and finance groups aiming to support their members financially.
Characteristics of Nidhi Company Registration in India
Members: Requires a minimum of 7 members. There is no upper limit on the number of members.
Directors: Must have at least 3 directors to be incorporated.
Limited Liability: Members’ liability is limited to the amount unpaid on their shares. Their personal assets remain protected.
Separate Legal Entity: A Nidhi Company has a separate legal identity from its members and directors, allowing it to own property, incur debts, and enter into contracts independently.
Perpetual Succession: The company continues to exist even if the directors or members change or pass away.
Raising Capital: Nidhi Companies can accept deposits only from their members and provide loans to members, fostering mutual benefit but cannot raise capital from the general public.
Compliance and Transparency: Must comply with regulations under the Companies Act, 2013, and the Nidhi Rules, file periodic returns, and disclose financial statements to ensure transparency and member confidence.
Prospectus Requirement: Not applicable to Nidhi Companies as they do not offer shares to the public.
Minimum Subscription: Not applicable since Nidhi Companies raise funds only from their members.
Index of Members: Required to maintain a register of members as per the Companies Act, 2013.
Company Name: The name of a Nidhi Company must end with the words “Nidhi Limited” to signify its nature.
