Nidhi company registration

What is Nidhi company registration?

A Nidhi company is a type of non-banking financial company that is registered under the Companies Act, 2013. It is a mutual benefit society where members can deposit and lend money to each other. Nidhi companies are also known as mutual benefit companies or permanent funds. The main objective of a Nidhi company is to cultivate the habit of thrift and savings among its members, and to provide them with a safe and secure way to borrow money.

The process of registering a Nidhi company involves several steps, including drafting the Memorandum of Association (MoA) and Articles of Association (AoA), obtaining a Director Identification Number (DIN) for all directors, and applying for a certificate of incorporation. The company must also have a minimum of 7 members and a minimum capital of ₹5 lakhs.

Nidhi companies are regulated by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs and are required to comply with the provisions of the Companies Act, 2013, and the Nidhi Rules, 2014. They are also required to file annual returns and maintain proper accounting records.
