Chit is a mutually beneficial scheme where in a group of people contribute towards the chit value and one member from the group is given the prize amount and the dividends are distributed to all the other members. For Example if we consider a chit value of Rs.500000/- with 50 members in the group each member has to contribute Rs.10000/- where by (50X10000) Rs.500000/- is collected.

The auction is conducted in which the members participate and the person who discounts the maximum is declared as the prized subscriber. If there are more than one participant for maximum discount the Successful Bidder will be determined by way of lottery. Where in, the tokens bearing the numbers allotted to the members is put into a box and one token is drawn by any of the member present in the auction and thus, the member whose number is mention on the drawn token will be declared as the Sucessful bidder.

30% is the maximum bid allowed, which means a person foregoes Rs.150000/- and the balance Rs.350000/- is paid to the prized subscribers. Out of 30% discount 5% goes to the company towards company's commission for conducting the chit and balance of the discount amount is distributed equally amongst all members of the group. That is 25 % is distributed to all the members by which next month they have to contribute (Rs.10000/- - Rs.2500/-) = Rs.7500/- only and Rs.2500/- is declared as dividend for that month.

Chit fund is a unique financial concept, which has flexibility to borrow or save. By paying one-month installment amount, a person can get to borrow from the chit value, by offering a discount not exceeding the maximum limit ascertained in the chit agreement.

In a chit value of Rs.500000/- for a period of 50 months, first the subscriber can get an amount of 350000/-by paying only Rs10000/- and remaining installments he pays over a period of 50 months. The rate of borrowing is much cheaper than several other financial schemes.

The non prized subscriber who is a saving member upto the last installments gets dividend which is comparatively higher than the interest that are accrued by way of Recurring Deposit Schemes.

The purpose of drawing the prized amount need not be disclosed. It can be used for any need by the member for Example: House construction, Marriage, Education, Expansion of business, buy a Computer or any other purpose at his discretion.
