How to Do a Fair Committee (BC) Draw Online
A committee, also called a BC or kameti, works on trust. The draw for who gets paid first should be open, simple and easy to check. Here is how to run it online.
What is a committee (BC)?
A committee is a savings group. A fixed number of members each pay the same amount every month. Each month, one member receives the full pot. The order in which members receive the pot is usually decided by a draw. Because nobody wants to wait until last, the draw must be fair and seen by everyone.
Step 1: Agree on the rules
- The monthly amount and the payment date.
- The number of members (this is also the number of months).
- Whether you draw the whole order once at the start, or one name each month.
- What happens if someone pays late.
Write the rules in your WhatsApp group so everyone can see them later.
Step 2: Make the list
Write each member's name on its own line. If one person has two shares (two "hissay"), add their name twice, for example "Ahmed 1" and "Ahmed 2". This keeps their chances fair.
Step 3: Spin with everyone watching
- Open the random name picker (or the Urdu wheel) and paste the list.
- Tick Remove winner after each spin so nobody is drawn twice.
- Start a WhatsApp video call or meet in person, and share or show the screen.
- Spin once for each month. The first name gets month 1, the second gets month 2, and so on.
SpinFair picks each name with your phone's or computer's secure random generator before the wheel moves, so the organizer cannot influence the result.
Step 4: Save proof and share the order
- Record the screen during the draw and send the video to the group.
- Copy the Results list and post it as a message: "Month 1 - Sara, Month 2 - Bilal..."
- Pin that message so nobody can argue about the order later.
Monthly draw instead of one draw?
Some groups prefer to draw one name each month. In that case, keep the wheel saved in your browser (SpinFair remembers it), remove each month's winner, and spin again next month with the remaining names.
اردو میں مختصر طریقہ
- تمام ممبران کے نام ایک ایک لائن میں لکھیں۔ جس کے دو حصے ہوں، اس کا نام دو بار لکھیں۔
- ناموں کو پہیے میں ڈالیں اور "ہر بار فاتح کو پہیے سے ہٹا دیں (دوبارہ نہیں)" والا آپشن آن کریں۔
- سب کے سامنے ویڈیو کال پر یا ایک جگہ بیٹھ کر اسپن کریں۔
- جو نام پہلے نکلے، اسے پہلے مہینے کی رقم ملے گی، پھر اسی طرح ترتیب بنائیں۔
- اسکرین ریکارڈ کریں اور نتیجہ واٹس ایپ گروپ میں بھیج کر پن کر دیں۔
Frequently asked questions
Can the organizer cheat in an online committee draw?
Not on SpinFair. The winner is picked by the device's cryptographic random generator before the wheel moves, and the spin can be recorded and watched live by all members.
What if one member has two shares?
Add their name twice, for example Ahmed 1 and Ahmed 2. Each share then has an equal chance and gets its own month.
Do I need to install an app?
No. The wheel works in any phone or computer browser, with no sign-up.
