Chit Fund Company
Chit Fund Company is another type of finance company in India that does not require Reserve bank of India (RBI)’s approval. Chit Fund Companies are governed by Chit Fund Act 1982 and RBI has specifically exempted from its core provisions. Chit Fund Companies are widely famous with their name known as ‘committee’. Let us understand how the chit fund companies or the committee works and will then proceed to how the company is registered in terms of the Chit Fund Act, 1982. Basic terms to understand Chit Funds
To understand how the Chit Fund companies work, we must understand few terms which will be used during the process.
Foremen
are the person who manages all the chit fund activities and against which he charges a monthly commission which is around 5% of the total chit value.
Members
are the person who contributes to the Chit on a monthly basis a fixed sum.
Bid amount
is the sum of money which is proposed by the members to be forgone. The highest bid is selected and the pool is disbursed to the member.
Dividend
is the sum forgone by the members to collect the bid amount offered less the commission charged by the foremen.
How does Chit Fund Company work?
Let us understand the whole concept with the help of an example. Suppose, there are 20 members who will contribute 20 equal instalments for Rs.5000 each which makes a monthly pool of Rs.100,000/-. Let us draw a table and understand the first five instalments.
Let us understand the above table and the figures one by one.
For the first month, the 20 members will pay a sum of Rs.5000 each and collectively the sum will be Rs.100,000/-. Now, the members who need the fund shall bid for the amount forgone. Suppose, one member chose to forgone Rs. 25,000, then Rs. 75,000 shall be disbursed to him.
Now, the remaining amount left is Rs. 25,000/-. The foremen shall charge his commission of Rs. 5,000 and the remaining amount is treated as a dividend. Now the amount remaining after the commission is Rs. 20,000/-. Now, this Rs. 20,000 shall be distributed as dividend equally, i.e. Rs. 1,000/-. Now, Rs. 1,000/- shall result in a reduction of instalment of the next month which you can see over next month
