How much does Nidhi company registration cost with Shunya?
Shunya's professional fee is ₹1,999. Government fees, state stamp duty, the DSC issuer's charge and other third-party costs are billed separately, and your CA walks you through them on your callback.
What conditions must a new Nidhi company meet?
As of September 2026, for companies incorporated on or after 19 April 2022, Form NDH-4 must be filed within 120 days of incorporation, by which time the company needs 200 members and net owned funds of ₹20 lakh. Your CA confirms the current requirements.
Who can a Nidhi company lend to and accept deposits from?
Only its own members. A Nidhi company cannot run chit funds, hire-purchase or leasing finance, insurance business, or acquire securities.
What happens if the NDH-4 deadline is missed?
Missing the deadline blocks certain filings such as SH-7 and PAS-3, and a rejected NDH-4 stops the company from accepting deposits or making loans. Plan the timeline from the date of incorporation.
