Kerala State Financial Enterprises Limited (KSFE) is a public sector chit fund and loan company based in Thrissur city, Kerala, India.

History[]

The company started functioning on 6 November 1969, with Thrissur city as its headquarters.[1] It started with a capital of Rs 2,00,000, and had 45 employees and 10 branches. It has now 600 branches and eleven regional offices at Thiruvananthapuram, Kollam, Kottayam, Ernakulam, Thrissur, Kozhikode, Kannur, Attingal, Alappuzha, Kattappana and Malappuram.[2] KSFE is a Miscellaneous Non-Banking Financial Company (MNBFC) and is fully owned by the Government of Kerala. KSFE does not come under the regulation of Reserve Bank of India since it is not a Non-Banking Financial Company.

KSFE is one of the two chit fund companies owned by the government in the whole of India.[citation needed] The other company is (MSIL) owned by the government of Karnataka. KSFE's purpose at founding was to provide an alternative to unscrupulous private-sector chit fund organisers.[3] In 2000, it had 77% of the capital volume of the chit fund business in Kerala, though just 37.5% of the number of chit funds.[3]
