In terms of Models, MFIs can be classified as lenders to groups or as lenders to individuals. In India, MFIs usually adopt the group based lending models, which are of two types:
(i) The self-help group (SHG) model and
(ii) (ii) The joint liability group (JLG) model.
Under the SHG model, MFI lends the loans to a group of 10 - 20 women as a whole. Under the SHG - bank linkage model, an NGO promotes a group and gets banks to extend loans to the group. Under the joint liability models, loans are extended to, and recovered from, each member of the group.
