They are also known as Permanent Fund, Benefit Funds, Mutual Benefit Funds and Mutual Benefit Company. They are regulated by Ministry of Corporate Affairs. Reserve Bank of India is empowered to issue directions to them in matters relating to their deposit acceptance activities. However, in recognition of the fact that these companies deal with their shareholder-members only.

Nidhi companies existed even prior to the existence of companies Act 1913. The basic concept of nidhi is "Principle of Mutuality" ("Paraspara Sahayata"). Thus they function for the common benefit advantage of all their members/share holders.[2] These companies are more popular in South India, and 80% of Nidhi companies are located in Tamil Nadu.
