• Make available the rates of interest and the approach for gradation of risks on the web-site of the companies.

Rate of interest:

The Company intimates the borrower, the loan amount and rate of interest at the time of sanction of the loan along with the tenure and amount of the monthly instalment.

General

Approach for gradation of risk:

The rate of interest is arrived at based on the weighted average cost of funds, administrative costs, risk premium and profit margin.

The decision to give a loan and the interest rate applicable to each loan account is assessed on a case to case basis, based on multiple parameters such as the type of asset being financed, borrower profile and repayment capacity, borrower’s other financial commitments, past repayment track record if any, the security for the loan as represented by the underlying assets, loan to value ratio, mode of payment, tenure of the loan, geography (location) of the borrower, end use of the asset etc. Such information is collated based on borrower inputs and field inspection by the company officials.

Interest Rate Policy:

The prevailing rate of interest charged to our customers for acquiring new or pre-owned assets ranges between 10.0% to 26.0%. The tenure for the same is usually between 1 year to 5 years. There may be special schemes launched by the Company from time to time which may be offered at more favorable terms with the approval of management.

The rates of interest are subject to change as the situation warrants and are subject to the discretion of the management on a case-to-case basis.
