What is the Nidhi Company?
Nidhi companies are created for the primary purpose of encouraging thrift and providing credit facilities among their members at reasonable rates of interest. They also promote economic development and employment generation in rural and semi-urban areas.
Nidhis are modeled after traditional savings and credit cooperatives, but they are not subject to the stringent Reserve Bank of India (RBI) regulations that apply to banks. As a result, Nidhis can offer higher interest rates on deposits and lower interest rates on loans than banks.
Nidhis are typically small organizations with a limited number of members, all of whom share a common bond such as religion, caste, occupation, or locality. The common bond makes it easier for Nidhis to monitor its members and ensure that loans are repaid.
