Deposit Management Software: Complete Guide for NBFCs and Nidhi Companies

For deposit-accepting NBFCs and all Nidhi companies, deposit management is a business-critical function. Every depositor is a liability — a legal obligation that must be honored at maturity with correct interest. Poor deposit management leads to wrong interest payments, TDS violations, and regulatory penalties.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What is deposit management software?

    Deposit management software is a module within NBFC or Nidhi ERP that manages fixed deposits, recurring deposits, and savings accounts — including interest calculation, TDS, maturity tracking, and compliance reports.

    How does TDS calculation work in deposit software?

    TDS is automatically calculated on interest payments above ₹5,000 per year (for NBFCs) or ₹40,000 (for banks). Form 15G/15H submissions are tracked, and TDS certificates are generated automatically.

    What is a premature closure of a deposit?

    Premature closure means the depositor withdraws before the maturity date. Software calculates the applicable interest at reduced rates (as per scheme) and processes the closure with penalty if applicable.
