Nidhi Company

A Nidhi Company is a Non-Banking Financial Company (NBFC) recognized under Section 406 of the Companies Act, 2013 and governed by the Nidhi Rules, 2014.

Its core objective is to promote savings and thrift habits among its members and carry on the business of lending and borrowing only with its members.

✅ Unlike other NBFCs, a Nidhi Company does not require RBI approval to start operations, making it a preferred option for community-based financing.
