MCA Warns Public to Verify Nidhi Companies Amid Regulatory Non-Compliance Concerns
The Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) has warned the public against investing in Nidhi Companies that promise unusually high returns, citing regulatory non-compliance by many such firms. The MCA noted that several companies failed to submit the mandatory NDH-4 form required for official recognition. It advised investors to verify a company's Nidhi status on the government website before depositing money, highlighting that deposits are not insured and recovery may be difficult if a company fails.
