In India, microfinance methods for the conventional cooperatives like PACSs face severe challenges. Microfinance groups like the SHGs need considerable resources for their emergence and sustenance (GOI: 2015-16). Formal institutions like cooperatives may not be able to promote such groups on a large scale unless supported by suitable and competent agencies. Though the principles of SHGs are compatible with the original conception of credit cooperatives, in reality there is a mismatch. Therefore, both in the formation SHGs and in their working, cooperatives may face many contradictions posing difficulties for their actual integration in a meaningful way. Like for example, while a formal cooperative works on the basis of limited liability, SHG is supposed to adopt the principle of unlimited liability. Similarly, a cooperative is a member-owned organization with ability of democratic governance and accountability. But an SHG is an informal body whose members may not be able to exercise the same rights as that of a original member unless provide for legally (Jeevanandham S.& Murugesan P. :2015).
