Nidhi Company Registration in Kanpur — Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Nidhi Company in India?+
A Nidhi Company is a type of Non-Banking Financial Company (NBFC) regulated under Nidhi Rules 2014. It can only accept deposits from and lend to its own members — it cannot deal with the general public. The purpose is to cultivate savings habits among members and provide low-cost credit.
What is the minimum capital to start a Nidhi Company?+
A Nidhi Company requires a minimum paid-up equity capital of ₹5 lakh (₹5,00,000). Within one year of incorporation, it must achieve a net owned fund of ₹10 lakh and at least 200 members.
Does a Nidhi Company need RBI approval?+
Nidhi Companies are exempted from core RBI provisions that apply to NBFCs, but they are regulated by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs under the Nidhi Rules 2014. No separate RBI licence is required.
How much does Nidhi Company registration cost?+
MakeItLegit charges ₹1,999 for Nidhi Company registration. Due to the higher complexity — minimum 7 members, ₹5L capital, and compliance with Nidhi Rules — the price is higher than standard Pvt Ltd registration.
Can a Nidhi Company lend to non-members?+
No. A Nidhi Company is strictly prohibited from lending to or accepting deposits from non-members. All transactions must be with registered members only. Violating this rule attracts penalties under the Nidhi Rules.
What happens if a Nidhi Company does not reach 200 members in 1 year?+
The company must apply to the Regional Director for an extension of time in Form NDH-2 before the expiry of the one-year period, along with reasons for the shortfall. Failure to comply can lead to penalties.
