Break even point in chitty - Interest v/s Discount foregone

Bidding Thump Rule :-

No:1 [As a borrower]
Bid the chitty at the maximum rate, since cost of chitty is always much less than the borrowing cost.

No.2 [As an Investor] In the continuous bidding process, if the discount foregone/available on each month is less than or equal to the proportionate of the gross /maximum discount for the month, bid the ticket immediately and invest the proceeds in CSDT or other secured investment/deposits.

Tips :-

I. Per unit (in % terms) of discount foregone correspond to interest earned on the prize money should be arrived to maximize the return from chitty.

II. Discount forgone in auction should be suitably compensated with the interest/return earned by prize money receipt during the course of the chitty.

* Cash flow based computation :- (for investors)

Ex : - [ Rs 2000 X 50 months = sala (Rs) 100000]

i) If the chitty is auctioned at the 18th month \ instalment at a total discount of 11%. prize money payable is 100000-11000= Rs 89000.

ii) Interest accrued on PM deposit for the balance period of (50-19) = 31 months @ 10%.
Therefore total interest for Rs 89000 @ 10% for 31 months is = Rs 23733.

Total prize money at the end of chitty Rs 89000.

Total receipt/ inflow from chitty = 23733+ 89000 = Rs 112733

iii) If the total dividend earned is Rs 6000 during the entire chitty period,
The net outflow of the chitty is Rs100000 - 6000 = Rs 94000.

IV) Net Surplus in chitty Rs 112733 - 94000 = 18733

iv) Annualised average return = Rs 18733 / 50 = Rs 375.

v) Inflow based annual average return: 375/1625 *100 = 23%

Annualised Return (%) = 375/2000* 100 = 18.75% (without considering reinvestment or compounding effect and returns is worked out on gross subscription amount instead of net investment/subscription).

Comparative result of a post-office R.D Scheme

[ 5 year scheme (60 Months duration) at a monthly investment of Rs 150]

Total contribution/ investment =150*60 = 9000.
.............................Total interest earned = 2227
----------------....------------------------------
........................................Total inflow = 11227

Inflow based annual average return = 2227/60 = 37

Annualized average Return % = 37 / 150 *100 = 24.5%
Note:- Here the return is high since the matching investment period selected is lower in the case of chit scheme ie, we took only 50 months duration in chitty. If chitty duration is 60 months the return will further jump to a higher percentage level )

Ex:-II

i) If the chitty is auctioned at the 18th month/ instalment at a total discount of 5. 5% (including F. C), then the prize money payable is [Rs 100000 - 5500 = Rs 94500].

ii) Interest accrued on PM deposit for the balance period of [50-19] = 31 months. Therefore total interest for prize money for the balance duration of the chitty @ 10% is = Rs 24412.

iii) Total inflow from the chitty (i) + (ii) above = 94500 + 24412 = 118912.

iv) If the dividend earned in the chitty is very less ie, only to an extend of Rs 5000. Therefore, net outflow of the chitty is Rs 100000 - 5000 = 95000.

v) Net surplus in the chitty is (iii) - (iv) = Rs 118912 - Rs 95000 = Rs 23912.

vi) Annualised average return in the chitty is 23912/50 = 478.

vii) Return (%) = 478/2000*100 = 23. 9%
