To,

Mutual Benefit Financial Companies (Nidhis) and Mutual Benefit Companies (Potential Nidhis)

Dear Sirs,

Submission of returns by Mutual Benefit Financial Companies (MBFCs) and Mutual Benefit Companies (MBCs)

As you are aware, the Ministry of Company Affairs has taken over the entire regulation of Mutual Benefit Financial Companies (Notified Nidhis) and Mutual Benefit Companies (Potential Nidhis). The position regarding submission of Annual Returns by MBFCs and MBCs has been reviewed by the Department and it has been decided not to call for Annual Return in First Schedule, audited balance sheet & profit and loss account, auditor’s certificate and other particulars as contained in paragraph 8 of Non-Banking Financial Companies Acceptance of Public Deposits (Reserve Bank) Directions, 1998. However, once the application of MBCs (Potential Nidhis) for grant of nidhi status is rejected by the Ministry of Company Affairs, the provisions of the said Directions as applicable to NBFCs would apply to such companies.

2. A copy each of the amending Notification No. DNBS.191 / CGM (PK) – 2007 dated January 04, 2007 as well as updated Notification No.DFC.118 / DG (SPT) – 98 dated January 31, 1998 are enclosed for your information and meticulous compliance.

3. Please acknowledge receipt to the Regional Office of the Department of Non-Banking Supervision, Reserve Bank of India under whose jurisdiction the Registered Office of your company is situated.

Yours faithfully,

(P. Krishnamurthy)
Chief General Manager-in-Charge
