Benefits of the scheme

  • Expats would be provided insurance cover, which effectively means that the family of the subscriber would receive funds on the demise of the subscriber. Moreover, they will be accorded with pension amounts if investments have been made for the same.
  • Chtties under KSFE are conducted in accordance with the regulations of the Central Chit Fund Act, 1982; and hence are considered safe for transactions.

The total of the periodic subscription, called the chitty amount, will be given out as “prize money” to the person who bids by allowing for the maximum reduction in the prize money. The maximum reduction possible is 25% as per the prevailing Chitty Act and if there are more than one subscriber interested in bidding at 25% reduction, the numbers of the such bidders will be put to a draw.
