Benefits of NIDHI COMPANY

Ease of incorporation:- It is easier to commence business in the NBFC sector as a Nidhi Company. A Nidhi company requires a paid-up equity share capital of 5 lakhs to begin with while an NBFC requires a net worth of 2 crores. Therefore it is easy to set up a Nidhi Company.

Ease of doing business:- A Nidhi Company elects 3 out of the minimum seven members as directors. Due to the small size of such companies and also their management is fairly easy.

Easier to obtain loans:- The members can get loans at lower rates as compared to the market and at the same time involve themselves with less formalities. The members can get higher returns on their savings as well.

Less paperwork and compliance:- The RBI gives exemptions to them on matters relating to yearly compliance and tax assessments. It gets registered in a short span of time ranging from a few days to a maximum of a few weeks. It is the only form of a loan company that does not require a license from the RBI.

Basic Preliminary formalities:- It can be started with a minimum of 7 members and a minimum paid up share capital of Rs. 5 lakh which needs to be extended to Minimum of 200 members and capital of Rs. 10 lakh within 1 year of incorporation. Further, the capital can be invested within six months of registration. It also does not require a license from the RBI as mentioned above and also there is no maximum cap limit on number of members.

No outsider interference:- When compared with other financial institutions or other companies of similar nature, Nidhi companies fare better. These companies are both owned as well as managed by their members. Hence, these are effectively managed. They have little to no interference from the RBI and absolutely no intervention from outsiders.

Community growth:- Since the lending and borrowing occurs within the members of the company, this promotes the community by adding to the wealth of its members as well as funding their business development, personal needs etc.

Low risk of non-payment of loans:- Since these societies function on trust, the risk of defaulting by the members is very low. Additionally, there is a collateral attached to the loaned amount hence the loans are secured. A member can take loans on the basis of the amount deposited in the company. This is the concept of Net owned funds and we discuss this point below as well as under the Guidelines – After incorporation.
