When a loan is granted or given to any of the members of the SHG, the tenure is fixed for 12 months and then fails to pay the instalment of the loan amount after 12 months, the interest rate of 3-5% is charged on a day basis. Further, if the non-payment of loan continues, the members of the group approach the loan taker and negotiations takes place for rescheduling the tenure of payment.
