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 account: A 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 is 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 has been 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 , loan 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 On prepaying, client will pay remaining principal amount and interest before maturity date date and after that client loan account will be closed.
Loan Account Repayment
Mifos X enables individual individuals and group 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 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).

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.

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. |
