id -g will get you the egid. 

if [ `id -g` -eq 1001 ]; then
echo It's a hit!
fi

RE: Get effective group id

 Hi,
 
 From a Bourne shell script, how to get (and test) the group id of the
 user that is executing the script?
 
 Best regards,

Olivier:

id -gn   should give you the group name. Drop the -n if you want just the
numberic id.
