This query is : Resolved
We are planning to set up a self financing unit for the benefit of our alumni similar to SHG concept.
can we collect monthly thrift like deposit from our members
can we lend the pooled up money for their own benefit
are there any restrictions for such activity
it is not a micro finance unit
the activity is not meant for profit but for the welfare of the members
whether the activity attracts any permissions, if so to whom we have to approach

You have to get approval form the RBI.
