Microfinance: Definition
“Microfinance is an economic development tool whose objective
is to assist the poor to work their way out of poverty. It covers
a range of services which include, in addition to the provision
of credit, many other services such as savings, insurance,
money transfers, counselling, etc.” – Reserve Bank of India
In other words, Microfinance serves as a tool for providing
financial services to the low-income population., which do
not have access to the mainstream financial services.
Microfinance: Definition
The proposed Microfinance Services Regulation Bill defines
microfinance services as “providing financial assistance to an
individual or an eligible client, either directly or through a group
mechanism for :
i. Rs. 50000 or lesser amount, for an individual for small and tiny
enterprise, agriculture, allied activities (including for consumption
purposes of such individual) or
ii. Rs. 150000 or lesser amount for an individual for housing purposes,
or
iii. any other purpose nor exceeding Rs. 150000
MF: The Paradigm
 In 1976, Dr Mohammed Yunus, a Professor of Economics in
Chittagong University, Bangladesh, came up with the concept of
lending to groups of poor women.
 This group was loaned money without any collateral, but with
higher interest rates of 20-24%.
 If any one member defaulted, the group was denied access to
further credit.
 This joint liability put a social pressure with produced a very
high repayment rate of 98 %.
 The success of this pilot project inspired him to set up a
Grameen Bank for providing banking services to the poor.
Cont.
 In the Grameen Bank Model, members of the group are also the
owners of the bank.
 The group normally consists of the five members and the liability
to repay the loan lies with the individual.
 The loan is given directly on the basis of trust and no agreement
or document is required.
 The success of GB proved that the poor needed access to financial
services rather than cheap subsidized credit.
Cont..
 This pioneering experiment came to be later know as “Micro
Finance” for the poor.
 Dr Mohammed Yunus and the Grameen Bank were awarded the
Noble Peace Prize in 2006 ‘for their efforts to create economic and
social development from below’.
 The success of this concept inspired many to set up similar projects
across the globe.
 Today, there are over 7,000 MFIs across the globe, serving 16
million poor households in developing countries.

 An NGO is a voluntary organization established to undertake
social intermediation like organizing SHGs of micro
entrepreneurs and entrusting them to banks for credit linkage
or financial intermediation, like borrowing bulk funds from
banks for on-lending to SHGs.
Conti....
 NGOs have emerged as an effective change agents by
organizing and promoting SHGs and facilitating their
linkages with banks.
 They conduct workshops, seminars, and training programmes
to create awareness among SHGs
