Subscription in Malayalam
ചിട്ടി (chitti) is the Kerala chit fund, where members pay a fixed sum each month into a common pot and take turns drawing it, which is why the dictionary glosses it as subscription and lottery. The organiser is a ചിട്ടിക്കാരന് (chittikkaaran) and one share in the scheme is a ചിട്ടിക്കുറി (chittikkuri).
Most common translation
