Refund of Interest on Interest
The Supreme Court of India (‘SC’ or ‘Court’) had given its judgment on March 23, 2021 for a complete waiver of interest, that is, compound interest, charged by lenders during Covid moratorium. In this regards, RBI has issued a circular dated April 07, 2021, directing lending institutions to abide by SC judgment. Meanwhile, the IBA in consultation with Banks, NBFCs, FICCI, ICAI, and other stakeholders have adopted a guideline with a uniform methodology for a refund of interest on interest/compound interest/penal interest.
The Relief presupposes the following: (a) Payment defaults, if any, during the Moratorium Period (b) Any Compound Interest, Penal Interest or Penalty charged, for the Payment defaults (c) Fresh Disbursements/Pre-payments during moratorium period.
