The main and ultimate objective behind establishing a Nidhi Company is to cultivate thriftiness and a habit of making savings among all its members, in order to meet their respective financial requirements in life arising from time to time smoothly. The funds of a nidhi company is contributed solely by its all members or shareholders. The nidhi company is entitled to borrow from its members, and give loans only to its members, and thus to work for the mutual benefits and welfare of its all members. The Section-406 of the Indian Companies Act of 2013, and the Companies (Nidhi Companies) Rules of 2014, contain the provisions for incorporation, governance, and regulation of the Nidhi Companies in India. The activities of the nidhi companies do also fall under the purview of RBI Directives that govern financial activities and investments by companies including the NBFCs. However, as the nidhi companies deal with the deposits and loans related with its members only, RBI has provided certain exemptions to these companies.

The following basic points (given in Rule-6 of the Nidhi Rules of 2014) are noteworthy in connection with the activities of nidhi companies in India:

It cannot carry out any of the following businesses --- leasing finance, chit fund, insurance, hire purchase finance, or acquisition of securities issued by any corporation.
It is not entitled to issue preference shares, debentures, or any other debt instruments in any form.
It cannot accept deposits from or give loans to any external person or corporation.

Again, a nidhi company must have the words 'Nidhi Limited' as part of its name, in order to differentiate it from a regular finance investment company. Here, it may again to noted that the Memorandum of Association of a nidhi company must give proper space to the wording that, the primary objectives of the proposed company are to cultivate and nurture thriftiness and a lasting habit in all its members for making savings, and providing loans to and receiving deposits only from its members, for their mutual benefits.
