Since the 1980s, India has invested significantly in Self-Help Groups (SHGs) and other women’s groups to improve gender equality and women’s empowerment. Most prominently, the National Rural Livelihoods Mission (NRLM) aims to mobilize 70 million households into SHGs. Economic SHGs start with an initial period, typically six months, of women saving collectively to facilitate intergroup lending. After that, SHG members can gradually take larger loans from bank.

The groups should be formed by the persons residing within the area of operation of the concerned branches of The WBSCARDB Ltd. / PCARDB.

Eligibility Criteria for SHGs to avail loan
SHG should be in active existence at least since the last 6 months as per the books of account of SHGs and not from the date of opening of S/B account. Persons already getting loans from any cooperative credit institution or from other sources will not be eligible to get loan for the same purpose as a group member.

Loan amount:
SHGs can avail either Term Loan (TL) or a Cash Credit Limit (CCL) loan or both based on the need. The amount of credit should be as follows:

• First Dose: Not exceeding 4 times of the deposit balance of the Group.
• Subsequent Dose: 6 times of the deposit balance of the Group.

However, if the requirement of loan of any member of a group goes beyond Rs. 1.00 Lakh, the person concerned should be shifted from the group mode of lending to the formal mode of lending followed in case of individual loans.

Rate of interest to be charged for the loans granted to SHG by the bank
