can be used for any income generating activity.
All women who are interested in availing loan from us will
have to undergo a 3 days training programme. They have to pass a simple test also
based on the 3 days training inputs. After this, a homogeneous JLG group will
be formed with members having common interest and are neighbours in one group. The
group should have a minimum of 5 members and a maximum of 10 members. The group
meetings are regular and all books of accounts are maintained
and updated regularly.
The quantum of loan is need based and is linked to the
repaying capacity based on the house hold cash flow. The maximum loan amount is also
linked to the loan cycle. The first cycle loan limit is maximum of Rs.30000/- and
increase by Rs.10000/- in each cycle subject to cash flow of the individual.
Depending on the repayment capacity, the maximum tenure
will be 36 months. The loan is repayable in monthly instalments
• Uniform interest rate at 25% irrespective of the quantum
of loan.
• Interest is not compounded and on reducing balance.
