Chit Better Safe than Sorry

• In some cases the investor who wins the prized bid makes off with the money and does not contribute ...
... his pending share of installments.

• Always go in for registered companies for chit funds and check their past track records in order to maintain the safety of your investment.

• Always make sure that you have the capability to pay your monthly installments as any default could result in you making huge interest payments and severe penalties.

• The group of investors should have the necessary funds to pay their installments so that the operations of the fund are not hindered. Members might be required to maintain a deposit with these funds.

• There is a risk of the foreman running away with the funds. In order to prevent this from happening to you make sure that the fund is registered under Chit Fund Act 1982.

• Always check the chit funds you invest in for tall claims such as enormously high rates of return and if there is a statement made that after you get the winning bid no further installments are needed you need to note that they are illegal according to the Chit Fund Act.
