JLG Group Loans

What is JLG

What is a Joint Liability Group (JLG) Loan?

A Joint Liability Group (JLG) is a small group of 5–10 individuals who come together to apply for a loan collectively. Each member of the group supports and guarantees the repayment responsibility of the others — making it easier to access financial support without needing heavy collateral or security.

Introduced by NABARD and widely adopted across India, the JLG model builds financial discipline, mutual trust, and community empowerment. It is the most effective microfinance model for reaching unbanked and underserved populations in rural India.

At SS Microfinance Association, our JLG loans are specifically designed for small entrepreneurs, women, farmers, and rural workers across Gopalganj, Siwan, Saran, and Varanasi regions.
