Interest free loan

Several people enter into business by taking loan from Bank, Society,  and Finance Company against gold or properties. It is BCCI's dream to strengthen Bearys economically. For this, the BCCI has come up with a new scheme of providing interest free loan of Rs. 5 lakh. Already, 4-5 people have taken this loan. They must repay the amount within 30 months. This way, every year 25 people can be given Rs. 5 lakh loan to strengthen them economically. Our dream is to make this as a rotational cycle.
