10. AB SELF HELP GROUP-BANK LINKAGE PROGRAMME

17

Self Help Groups:

Despite vast expansion of the formal credit system encompassing spheres of social and mass banking, the dependence of the rural poor on moneylenders still continues in many areas, especially for meeting their emergent needs. Under the circumstances, a non-formal agency for credit supply to the poor, in the form of Self Help Groups, emerged as a promising partner to the formal credit system. SHGs are part of micro credit.

The objectives of Self Help Groups are to:

  • inculcate saving and banking habits among the poor;
  • secure them with financial, technical and moral strengths;
  • enable availing of loan for productive purposes and repaying the same over a period of time, and in the process
  • gain economic prosperity;

Estimation of credit requirements:

Ist Dose: 1:4 times of the corpus or 50,000/- whichever is higher( for economic activity upto
Rs.25,000 whichever is higher)-If group saves Rs.1.00 they will get Rs 4.00 as
bank loan 
2nd Dose: 1:6 times of the corpus 
3rd Dose: 1:8 times of the corpus
