Nidhi Company Compliance refers to the specialized legal and regulatory requirements that every Nidhi Company must fulfill after incorporation. Governed by the Companies Act, 2013, Nidhi Rules, 2014 (as amended in 2019), and regulated by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA), Nidhi compliance is more stringent than regular company compliance due to the financial nature of Nidhi operations involving member deposits and loans.
A Nidhi Company is a type of Non-Banking Financial Company (NBFC) that operates on the principle of mutual benefit. It accepts deposits from members and provides loans to members only. Unlike other NBFCs, Nidhi Companies are regulated by the MCA (not RBI), but must follow strict compliance requirements to maintain their Nidhi status and continue operations legally.
The key compliance requirements for Nidhi Companies include filing specialized NDH forms (NDH-1, NDH-2, NDH-3, NDH-4), regular ROC filings (AOC-4, MGT-7), maintaining prescribed Net Owned Funds (NOF) and member ratios, conducting board meetings and AGM, and filing half-yearly returns with ROC.
At IncorpX, we provide specialized Nidhi Company Compliance Services tailored for the unique requirements of Nidhi Companies. Our team of expert Chartered Accountants (CAs) and Company Secretaries (CSs) with deep Nidhi expertise ensures your company remains compliant with all MCA and Nidhi Rules requirements.
What is Nidhi Company Compliance?
Nidhi Company Compliance encompasses all the statutory, regulatory, and legal requirements specific to Nidhi Companies under the Companies Act, 2013 and Nidhi Rules, 2014. Due to the financial intermediary nature of Nidhi operations, compliance requirements are more stringent than regular companies.
Under the amended Nidhi Rules, 2019, newly incorporated Nidhi Companies must file Form NDH-4 within 120 days of incorporation to obtain Nidhi status. Existing companies must maintain strict compliance with membership numbers, Net Owned Funds (NOF), and deposit-to-loan ratios as prescribed.
Non-compliance with Nidhi Rules can lead to severe consequences including revocation of Nidhi status, heavy penalties, director disqualification, and even prosecution under the Companies Act. The company must maintain minimum 200 members, ₹20 lakhs NOF, and 1:20 NOF to deposit ratio within prescribed timelines.
Key Compliance Categories for Nidhi Companies:
NDH Form Compliance:
Filing of NDH-1, NDH-2, NDH-3, and NDH-4 forms as applicable for Nidhi status and operations.
Annual ROC Compliance:
Yearly filings including AOC-4, MGT-7, DIR-3 KYC, and ADT-1 like regular companies.
Ratio Maintenance:
Maintaining prescribed NOF, member ratios, and deposit-to-NOF ratios throughout the year.
Half-Yearly Compliance:
Filing NDH-3 (half-yearly return) disclosing financial position and compliance status.
Important Warning!
Under the amended Nidhi Rules, 2019, the Central Government can remove the Nidhi status if the company fails to comply with prescribed requirements. Once status is revoked, the company cannot use "Nidhi" in its name, cannot accept deposits from members, and must repay all existing deposits immediately. This makes timely compliance absolutely critical!
Key Requirements for Nidhi Companies Under Nidhi Rules:
Nidhi Companies must meet specific requirements to obtain and maintain their Nidhi status.
Here are the key requirements under Nidhi Rules, 2014 (as amended):
Minimum Members:
A Nidhi Company must have a minimum of 200 members within one year from incorporation.
The company cannot accept deposits or provide loans until it achieves this membership requirement.
Net Owned Funds (NOF):
Must maintain minimum ₹20 lakhs NOF within one year. NOF means the aggregate of
paid-up equity share capital and free reserves minus accumulated losses and intangible assets.
NOF to Deposit Ratio:
The ratio of NOF to deposits should not exceed 1:20. This means the company
cannot accept deposits more than 20 times its Net Owned Funds.
Unencumbered Deposits:
At least 10% of deposits outstanding at the end of each year must remain
unencumbered (not lent out), maintained in scheduled bank term deposits.
Failure to meet these requirements can result in the Central Government directing removal
of Nidhi status under Rule 6 of Nidhi Rules, 2014.

FAQs on Nidhi Company Compliance
Managing Nidhi Company compliance requires understanding specialized Nidhi Rules beyond regular company requirements. We've compiled answers to the most frequently asked questions to help Nidhi Companies maintain their status and stay compliant.
These FAQs cover everything from NDH forms to ratio requirements, helping Nidhi Company administrators make informed decisions.
Nidhi Company annual compliance includes filing Form AOC-4 (financial statements), Form MGT-7 (annual return), Form NDH-3 (half-yearly return - twice a year), DIR-3 KYC for directors, minimum 4 board meetings, 1 AGM, and maintaining required member count and NOF ratios.
Form NDH-3 is a half-yearly return that Nidhi Companies must file with ROC. It contains details about the company's financial position, member count, deposits, loans, NOF, and compliance with Nidhi Rules. It must be filed within 30 days of each half-year end (April 30 and October 30).
A Nidhi Company must have a minimum of 200 members within one year from incorporation. Failure to achieve this number can result in the company losing its Nidhi status and being unable to accept deposits or provide loans.
Net Owned Funds (NOF) is calculated as: Paid-up equity share capital + Free reserves - Accumulated losses - Intangible assets. Nidhi Companies must maintain minimum ₹20 lakhs NOF within one year and ensure the NOF to deposit ratio does not exceed 1:20.
If Nidhi status is revoked:
The company cannot use "Nidhi" in its name
Cannot accept deposits from members
Must repay all existing deposits
Directors may face disqualification
Company may be treated as irregular NBFC
Form NDH-4 is the application for obtaining Nidhi status for companies incorporated after September 2019. It must be filed within 120 days of incorporation. Without NDH-4 approval, the company cannot operate as a Nidhi.
The ratio of Net Owned Funds to Deposits should not exceed 1:20. This means a Nidhi Company cannot accept deposits more than 20 times its Net Owned Funds. Exceeding this ratio is a violation of Nidhi Rules.
Yes, statutory audit is mandatory for all Nidhi Companies, regardless of their turnover or deposits. A practicing Chartered Accountant must audit the financial statements before filing AOC-4.
A Nidhi Company must hold a minimum of 4 board meetings per financial year. The gap between two consecutive meetings should not exceed 120 days. This means roughly one meeting per quarter.
Late filing of NDH-3 attracts a penalty of ₹100 per day. Continued non-filing can lead to show cause notices from ROC and potential revocation of Nidhi status.
No. A Nidhi Company can only accept deposits from its members. Accepting deposits from non-members is a violation of Nidhi Rules and can lead to serious consequences including status revocation.
Nidhi Companies must maintain at least 10% of deposits outstanding as unencumbered term deposits in scheduled banks. This ensures liquidity for member withdrawals.
No. Nidhi Companies can only provide loans to their members. Lending to non-members is prohibited under Nidhi Rules and attracts severe penalties.
Form NDH-1 is the application for declaration as Nidhi Company for companies incorporated before September 2019 that had "Nidhi Limited" in their name. It's used to formally obtain Nidhi status from MCA.
A Nidhi Company can provide loans up to maximum of ₹15 lakhs to a single member. The loan amount cannot exceed the total deposits made by that member or 15 lakhs, whichever is lower.
No. Unlike other NBFCs, Nidhi Companies are exempted from RBI registration. They are regulated by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs under the Companies Act and Nidhi Rules.
Form NDH-2 is the application for extension of time to meet Nidhi requirements. If a company cannot achieve 200 members or ₹20 lakhs NOF within one year, it can apply for extension through this form.
Nidhi Companies must maintain:
Register of Members
Register of Deposits
Register of Loans
Register of Directors
Minutes Book
Loan Ledgers
Nidhi Company compliance costs are higher than regular companies due to additional NDH form requirements. At IncorpX, comprehensive Nidhi compliance packages start from ₹4,999, covering all NDH forms and regular ROC filings.
