A loan account can be created for loan products that are active they inherit an active client or group based on a loan product that is active on the submitted date. When a loan account is created, it inherits the rules and defaults from the product definition. Loan accounts can be created for either an individual or a group, depending on whether the product is defined for clients or groups. A group or client can have multiple loan accounts but a single account cannot be given to multiple groups or clients.

 

Loan accounts can be opened only for Approved/Active clients and groups.

 

Fees can be charged to loan accounts in three ways, both at time of account creation and after.

 

  • Fees are inherited from the product definition. The LO can remove one or more of these fees for a particular account. If a fee is removed from an account, it does not affect other accounts.
  • Predefined fees (not yet associated with the account) can be selected and attached to the account.
  • Miscellaneous fees (one time charge) can be charged to an account. The user specifies the amount, which is added in the next payment.

 

Loan accounts can be created by clicking the Open new loan account link in the Quick Start navigation pane on the Home tab. A user with appropriate permissions will then need to then identify the client or group for which the loan is being created and select the loan product that will define the loan.

An active loan account in good standing is indicated by a green status. A active loan account that is not in good standing is indicated by a red status.

Group Loan Accounts 

There are three main types of loan account for groups: a group loan, a joint liability group (JLG) loan and a Bulk JLG loan for a group.  

Group Loan account: A group loan account is a single loan account shared by all members of a group. Members of the group are jointly responsible for repaying the loan. The group is treated collectively by the financial institution as a single entity. This feature is useful for Bank linkage programs, where nationalized financial institutions provide loans to a group rather than to members, for example, SHGs. 

JLG (Joint Liability Group) loan accountA JLG loan account belongs to an individual client who is a member of a group. The client who holds the loan account has primary responsibility for repaying the loan but the group in effect guarantees the loan. This feature is useful for financial institutions that follow the Grameen or similar methodology (center, group and joint liability group loans). JLG loan accounts are similar to an individual loan account, but individual loan accounts do not appear in the collection sheet.  

Bulk JLG Loan Account: A Bulk JLG loan account provides an interface to apply a JLG loan to multiple clients in a group. On the client level, it is same as JLG loan account. It is kept to be used in the scenarios when it is required to add a JLG loan to multiple clients with the same Loan Product. Although the functionality to modify the loan details is also provided so that loan data can be modified for any specific client. There are some specific fields like oan officer, submitted date that are kept common for all the clients and few other fields are kept specific to provide the flexibility in modifying the data of a specific client loan.    

Prepay The Loan: 

Prepaying the loan enables each client to prepay it all at once before the maturity date. On prepaying, client will pay remaining principal amount and interest before maturity date and after that client loan account will be closed.  

Loan Account Repayment  

Mifos X enables individuals and groups to process for loan account repayment. 

Individual repayment processes allow client, group and JLG loan account repayments to be recorded against one loan account at time. These payments may be made through: 

  • repayment of cash or similar negotiable payment type.
  • one-time transfer of funds from a Saving account to a Loan account.
  • standing instructions to transfer funds from a Saving account to a Loan account on a defined schedule. 

Group repayment processes are available for group and JLG loans. The group processes leverage the collection sheet, which is a bulk processing methodology for group and joint liability group loans repayments. 

When a loan has been repaid in full regardless of the the payment method, its status will be changed from Active to Closed (obligations met).  

For loan account repayment see:  


Note

Existing loan accounts are unaffected when the loan product they are based upon is changed.

 

A client may have more than one active loan account as defined by a financial institution's policies, configured in the Product Mix

Note

In the case of a group loan application, individual client loan accounts belonging to members of the group are included for the purposes of applying product mix rules.
