Limited Liability Partnership (LLP) was introduced in India by way of the Limited Liability Partnership Act, 2008. The basic premise behind the introduction of Limited Liability Partnership (LLP) is to provide a form of business entity that is simple to maintain while providing limited liability to the owners. Since, its introduction in 2010, LLPs have been well received with over 1 lakhs registrations so far until September, 2014.
The main advantage of a Limited Liability Partnership over a traditional partnership firm is that in a LLP, one partner is not responsible or liable for another partner’s misconduct or negligence. A LLP also provides limited liability protection for the owners from the debts of the LLP. Therefore, all partners in a LLP enjoy a form of limited liability protection for each individual’s protection within the partnership, similar to that of the shareholders of a private limited company. However, unlike private limited company shareholder, the partners of a LLP have the right to manage the business directly.
LLP is one of the easiest form of business to incorporate and manage in India. With an easy incorporation process and simple compliance formalities, LLP is preferred by Professionals, Micro and Small businesses that are family owned or closely-held. Since, LLPs are not capable of issuing equity shares, LLP should be used for any business that has plans for raising equity funds during its lifecycle.

Private limited company is the most popular corporate entity amongst small, medium and large businesses in India due to various advantages. Private Limited Company, the most popular legal structure for businesses, should be chosen by anyone looking to build a scalable business. Start-ups and growing businesses choose to register a company in India because it allows outside funding to be raised easily, limits the liabilities of its shareholders and enables them to offer employee stock options to attract top talent. As these entities must hold board meetings and file annual returns with the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA), they tend also to be viewed with more credibility than a Limited Liability Partnership (LLP), One Person Company (OPC), or General Partnership. At Accountax India, we are continuously available to help you understand how to register a private limited company. All such businesses must have at least two directors and shareholders on inception.

Section 406 of Companies Act 2013 and Companies (Nidhi Companies) Rules, 2014 govern Nidhi companies. A Nidhi company has been incorporated with the following objectives:
- Imbibing the habit of thrift and savings amongst its members
- Receiving and lending deposits from/to its members for their mutual benefit, which complies with rules of Chapter XXVI of Companies Rules, 2014.
Nidhi means ‘treasure’. In the financial sector, however, it means any mutually beneficial society that has been notified by the centre, which tries to cultivate the habit of savings among its members.
The companies doing Nidhi business are known under different names like Permanent Fund, Benefit Funds, Mutual Benefit Funds and Mutual Benefit Company.. They are mutual benefit societies as their dealings are restricted to its members and the membership is limited. The source of funds for such a society is the contribution from its members. Loans thus given out are at reasonable rates and most of the loans are for construction of house, or repairs. Loans are generally secured.
Since most of the funds come from the members, deposits thus raised by a Nidhi company are not much as compared to the organized banking sector.
Since Nidhis come under one class of NBFCs, the RBI is empowered to issue directions to them in matters relating to their deposit acceptance activities. However, since Nidhis deal with their shareholder-members only, RBI has exempted such notified firms from the core provisions of the RBI Act and other directions applicable to NBFCs. As on date (February 2013) RBI does not have any specified regulatory framework for Nidhis.
Requirements for Nidhi Company
- A Nidhi company that has to be incorporated under this Act shall be a public company;
- It must have a minimum paid up equity share capital of Rs.5,00,000/-;
- There will be no issuances of preference shares. If such shares had already been issued by a Nidhi Company before commencement of this Act, such preference shares are to be redeemed in accordance with the terms of issue of such shares;
- The objective of such a firm would be to imbibe in the members a habit of thrift and saving and the services would only be restricted to its members;
- The name must have Nidhi Limited
