NIDHI COMPANY ROC COMPLIANCE - AN OVERVIEW

A Nidhi Company is a type of Non-Banking Financial Company (NBFC) that is formed to borrow and lend money to its members. Because it deals with public deposits (from members), the regulatory framework is much stricter than a regular Private Limited Company.

The compliance for Nidhi Companies is governed by the Nidhi Rules, 2014 and the Companies Act, 2013. These rules mandate specific ratios for deposits, minimum membership counts, and regular reporting of financial health to the Registrar of Companies.

Failure to comply with these specialized rules can lead to the MCA cancelling the Nidhi status, freezing bank accounts, and imposing heavy fines on the management.

At Taxcom Technologies, we specialize in the complex compliance needs of Nidhi Companies. We ensure your NDH forms and annual returns are filed with precision, maintaining your company's credibility and legal standing.

  • Form NDH-1: Yearly return showing compliance with membership and NOF norms.
  • Form NDH-3: Half-yearly return to monitor the operational status of the Nidhi.
  • NOF to Deposit Ratio: Ensuring the ratio does not exceed 1:20 at any point.
