Hello Auditor

How can one file grievances against a Nidhi Company?

1. Approach the Nidhi Company’s Internal Grievance Cell

  • The first step is to contact the Grievance Officer or the Managing Committee of the Nidhi Company
  • Submit a written complaint via letter, email, or official grievance form
  • Mention the membership number, nature of complaint, supporting documents, and desired resolution
  • Request a written acknowledgment and keep a copy of the submitted complaint for the record
  • The company is expected to resolve the grievance within a reasonable timeframe, usually 15–30 days

2. File a Complaint with the Registrar of Companies (ROC)

  • If no satisfactory response is received, the complainant may escalate the issue to the Registrar of Companies (ROC) under the Ministry of Corporate Affairs
  • The complaint can be filed online through the MCA21 portal 
  • Use the MCA Grievance Module and select the option to file a complaint against a company
  • Provide details such as the CIN of the Nidhi Company, the complainant’s identity, description of grievance, and the evidence
  • The ROC may initiate inspection, issue show-cause notices, or seek clarification from the company

3. Raise a Complaint through the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) Helpdesk

  • You can also file complaints directly through the MCA Public Grievance Redressal System
  • Visit the PG Portal and register your grievance under the “Ministry of Corporate Affairs”
  • Attach any correspondence, receipts, or documents related to your membership, deposits, or loans
  • The grievance will be forwarded to the appropriate authority and tracked using a unique grievance ID
  • Updates and responses can be monitored online by the complainant

4. Legal Remedies through Consumer Forum or Civil Court

  • If the grievance involves financial loss, breach of agreement, or negligence, the member can approach the Consumer Forum
  • File a complaint under the Consumer Protection Act for a deficiency in service or unfair trade practices
  • Alternatively, if a legal violation or breach of contract is involved, a civil suit can be filed in the appropriate court
  • It is advisable to issue a legal notice before initiating formal proceedings
  • Legal action may include claims for compensation, refund, or specific performance

5. Reporting Financial Fraud or Serious Misconduct

  • If the issue involves fraud, misappropriation, or regulatory violations, a formal complaint can be submitted to
    Serious Fraud Investigation Office (SFIO)
    Economic Offences Wing (EOW)
    Local police or cybercrime cell, depending on the nature of the misconduct
  • These agencies may conduct inquiries and prosecute individuals responsible for criminal violations
  • The complaint should include complete documentation, identity verification, and a written explanation of the fraud
  • Parallel reporting to the MCA and ROC is also advised to ensure regulatory tracking
