Frequently Asked Questions

Important questions before forming a Nidhi Company.

A Nidhi Company is a member-based company created to promote thrift and savings among its members and to carry out permitted deposit and lending activities for their mutual benefit.

No. A Nidhi Company should not be represented as a bank. Its activities, membership and financial operations remain subject to a specialised and restricted legal framework.

No. Although it carries out limited financial activities, a Nidhi Company operates under a distinct member-based framework and should not be treated as an ordinary public-facing finance company.

Assess Before You Incorporate
