Ex-Gratia Payment of Compound Interest Waiver
In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, the RBI had announced a 6 month moratorium for all eligible borrowers from Mar – Aug, 2020. However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic wherein millions of people have struggled with loss / reduction of income (and may continue to do so), the RBI has recently announced the “Scheme for ex-gratia payment of difference between compound interest and simple interest for 6 months to borrowers with specific loan accounts”. This scheme was announced after the verdict passed by the Supreme Court on the same issue.
Simply explained, this scheme allows certain eligible borrowers to receive the difference between the compound interest charged between Mar –Aug, 2020 (6 months) and the simple interest for the same period in the form of a credit to their outstanding loan (if the loan is ongoing) or bank account (in case the loan is already closed).
