Chits vs Loans
CHITS
Chit funds are a combination of savings and borrowing where a group of members contribute a fixed amount every month for a specific period. Each month, one member receives the pooled amount through a transparent auction process. Instead of paying fixed interest, members benefit from dividends shared within the group. Chits help build disciplined savings while also providing flexible access to funds when needed.
LOANS
Loans are a form of borrowing where an individual receives a fixed amount from a bank or financial institution and repays it over time with interest. The repayment includes both the principal amount and a predetermined interest rate, which can increase the overall cost. Loans are useful for immediate financial needs but often come with strict repayment terms.
