Chit Schemes
FAQs
Chit funds are a savings vehicle which enables participatory savings for its members and are popular throughout the world and known by various local names and in financial jargon as Rotating Savings and Credit Associations (ROSCAs). Each chit scheme/ group has a fixed number of subscribers each of whom saves a fixed amount for a defined period where the number of months is equal to the number of subscribers in the scheme. Every month, the organizer of the chit schemes, i.e. the Chit Fund Company which is known as the Foreman, conducts an auction meeting for each chit scheme to choose the prized subscriber for that respective month. Conventionally (i.e. in the Non-Shari’a Compliant manner) the prized subscribers are chosen through a reverse-auction process where the “prize amount” is bid on discounts to it and paid to the member who has bid the most and agrees to take the least amount. This discount is shared equally between the members in the form of a “dividend”.
The Foreman collects a fee (% of chit value) for running the scheme, which is known as the Foreman’s Commission. In India, chit funds are regulated by the Chit Funds Act of 1982, and come under the Registrar of Cooperative Societies in each State.
