Nidhi Compliance after Incorporation



Quick Summary
After incorporating a Nidhi company, several compliance requirements must be met. These include filing e-forms such as PAS-3 for the return of allotment within 30 days, and NDH-1 for statutory compliances within 90 days of the financial year's closure. Regular filings like NDH-3 for half-yearly returns are also necessary, along with annual filings for financial statements (AOC 4) and annual returns (MGT-7).

"Nidhi" means a company which has been incorporated as a Nidhi with the object of cultivating the habit of thrift and saving amongst its members, receiving deposits from, and lending to, its members only, for their mutual benefit, and which complies with the rules made by the central Government for regulation of such class of companies.
