Individual Lending Model – Loans are extended to individual entrepreneurs for various purposes – both agricultural and non-agricultural. The loans are unsecured in nature and have cross guarantee of other borrowers.
Group Lending Model – loans are extended to borrower groups. Normally, these borrowers are ladies and have income from various sources like dairy, poultry, handicrafts, agricultural labor and other microenterprises.

Income generation loans – These loans are for productive purposes and are extended to households with a potential to employ the borrowed money in income generation. The loans are typically for 24 months. The clientele is spread across urban and rural areas. A large number of these loans are for agricultural uses like procurement of inputs, dairy and primary processing of agri produce.

Loans to Rickshaw pullers – this is a scheme specifically designed for rikshaw pullers and has been successfully pilot tested in Agra. The central idea is the issue of an asset-based loan to the rickshaw puller for which instalments are repayable on a daily repayment plan with 400 days duration (includes one weekly off). Full and timely repayment leads to ownership of the rickshaw being handed over to the puller. This concept is in happy contradiction to the existing practice in which an equivalent amount of a daily rental fee is paid to rent the vehicle, possibly for the lifetime of activity, with no scope for ownership. The innovation lies in its unique style of service delivery and design that addresses underlying causes of poverty through asset based entrepreneurship development. To be comprehensive in meeting the needs of the rickshaw puller and family, the daily repayment is a one-window repayment amount towards the eventual ownership of the rickshaw, a mobile connection, social security in terms of member deposit, accidental insurance premium, repairs, maintenance of the rickshaw and related financial training.
