The Chit Funds Act of 1982 regulates chit funds in India, and its main objectives are to protect the interests of subscribers, control the activities of the foreman, and provide for a special type of contract. Some of the provisions of the Act include:
Subscribers are clubbed together into groups according to the Chit Scheme they have chosen. They pay a monthly subscription to create the 'Pot' regularly from which the first month installment made as a deposit to obtain PSO and agreement number. A group will start its functioning as soon as all the slots in a group are filled in.
The auction process allows the members to place their bids following the amount they wish to borrow from the Pot.
Once the members have placed their bids, the lowest bidder merits the chance to win the amount they have bid for. A lucky draw is conducted in case of multiple bidders bid the same lowest amount and therefore the winner shall be announced.
The documents due diligence shall be carried out to make sure the future receivables before the disbursal of the prize money as a part of credit policy. Kopuram collects fewer documents comparing to the other players in the market.
The prize money is paid to the successful bidder after all the required assessment is completed.
Subscribers including a successful bidder enjoy the left out amount in the pot as a form of dividend which shall be distributed equally among the subscribers in the group.

There are 4 main advantages of investing in chit funds:
Chit fund returns depend on the month you participate in and win an auction. A customer who stays for the entire duration of chits an annual interest of around 10 to 12%.
Traditional chit fund companies operate using traditional, complicated manual processes. Customers are required to visit chit fund offices in order to participate in auctions, leading to the loss of valuable time and energy. With digital chits, you can enjoy all the benefits of a traditional chit fund at your convenience. Digital technology has also automated the entire process making chit funds much more transparent, reliable and easy for the millennial customers of today.

Mutual funds and chit funds serve different purposes. Mutual funds are long-term investments directly linked to market performance. There's no guarantee of you getting your principal amount back or making profits. Chit funds on the other hand, have zero market risk. They are a great tool for guaranteed short-term investments that enable you to save steadily for your goals and emergencies. Also, unlike mutual funds, you can both save and borrow withChit funds.
Recurring deposits offer low interest rates of 5-6% per annum. Also, if a customer withdraws from the RD before maturity they're charged a penalty. Moreover, RD returns are taxable too. However, customers who save in chit funds can expect much higher returns - up to 10 - 12% per annum. They can participate in online auctions and get their money in advance. There's the additional benefit of borrowing from your fund in case of emergencies. The best part about chit funds is that the returns are tax-free. Customers can enjoy the full value of their investments without any deductions.
