Mifos supports two types of charges—fees and penalties. Fees are charged for services—for
example, membership fees, loan disbursement fees, withdrawal fees. Penalties are charged to
discourage clients from deviating from the terms of a product—for example, late payment
penalty for a loan account, early withdrawal penalty for a fixed deposit account.
It supports Loan charges, Savings & deposits charges and Client charges.
Charges may be associated with a product. When an account is opened based on a product
that charges have been associated with, the account will include (inherit) all charges that are
associated with the product. In addition, charges that are not defined for a product may be
associated with individual client accounts.
