As per section 31 of The Chit Fund Act, 1982, every subscriber who wins the prize must furnish sufficient security to take it. Also, section 22 allows the company to collect sufficient security for the due payment of future subscriptions.
Muthoot Chits offers maximum security options for their customers when taking the prize money. Customers can opt for any one or a combination of the following securities from our security basket.
The value of the gold ornaments should be equal to 100% of the future liability of the member. It is valued currently at Rs.3000/gm.
Only traditional life insurance policies are accepted, and the surrender value of the Life Insurance Policy should exceed 100% of the member's future liability. Additionally, the subscriber needs to obtain a surrender value certificate and assignment confirmation from the Life Insurance company.
The property must be local immovable urban house/commercial property worth more than 150% of the member's future liability. Vacant land & rural properties are not accepted.

Fixed instruments (Physical/dematerialized) covering 100% of the subscriber's future liability are also accepted, e.g., NCDs, debentures, FDs, etc
Securities from NIFTY100 are accepted if they cover 200% of the subscriber's future liability.

Experts at Muthoot Chits suggest you opt among the 8 secured security options first for taking prize money. In case the secured options are not available, you can opt for the unsecured option i.e. Personal Guarantors/Sureties. A Personal Guarantee/Surety must fulfil the following 4 eligibility checkpoints to act as security:
Local government employees who draw an unencumbered minimum monthly basic pay as prescribed by the Foreman.
Employees who have completed seven years of service in reputed companies and institutions with PF, Gratuity, and other benefits may be accepted as Sureties at the Foreman’s discretion. They must also provide proof of ownership of immovable property, such as a copy of the sales deed along with the most recent house tax receipt.
Local business owners who have been in business for at least ten years and can provide documentary proof to satisfy the Foreman. Business owners should provide proof of ownership of immovable property, such as a copy of the sales deed and the most recent house tax receipt.
