Benchmark Rate (Base Rate or One year MCLR) so as to match our interest rate.
1.12. Zero Percent Interest Finance Scheme for Consumer Durables :
Bank will refrain from offering low/zero percent interest rates on consumer durable advances
to borrowers through adjustment of discount available from manufacturers/dealers of
consumer goods.
Bank should also not promote such schemes by releasing advertisement in different

booked as income only when it is actually received.
Interest Rate on Loans & Advances

Page 11

1.14.2.
Thus, till the time an advance is performing one, income from the same should be
recognized on accrual basis. But, the date from which it is classified as NPA (i.e. it ceases
to be performing) the income is to be accounted for on realization basis not only for the
current year but also interest accrued and credited to the income account in a prior
accounting period with respect to that NPA account should be reversed or provided for in
the current accounting period, if remains uncollected.
1.14.3. Interest on advances against term deposits, NSCs, KVPs, IVPs , Life Insurance
Policies ( Surrender Value) may be taken into income account on accrual basis on the due
date provided adequate margins as stipulated during sanction is available in the accounts.
1.14.4. In case of NPA account where interest income has ceased to accrue, the fees,
commission and similar income to the same borrower should not be credited to income
and should be reversed or provided for to the extent to which it is uncollected.
1.14.5. In case of rescheduling or re-negotiation of outstanding debts, the fees, commission
etc. should be recognized on accrual basis over the period of time covered by the renegotiated or re-scheduled extension of credit. Thus, the income would be recognized on
accrual basis from the date of rescheduling as if it was a fresh account.
In case of implementation of Sustainable structuring of Stressed Assets (S4A)/SDR,
income on accrual basis will not be recognized, if interest is not serviced within 90 days
from the due date.
1.14.6. If Govt. guaranteed advances become NPA, the interest on such advances should not
be taken to income account unless the interest has been realized.
1.14.7. If any advance, including bills purchased and discounted, becomes NPA as at the close
of any year, interest accrued and credited to income account in the corresponding previous
year, should be reversed or provided for, if the same is not realized. This will apply to
Government guaranteed accounts also.
1.14.8. The Computation of notional interest for the purpose of arriving at Banks sacrifice on
compromise, following methods will be adopted:
(i)
For Sub-standard & Doubtful Assets- Simple interest @ Benchmark Rate (Base
Rate or One Year MCLR) will be charged from the date of NPA till payment of
compromise sum,
(ii)
For Loss Assets and written off debts- No interest to be loaded over and above
the ledger balance as on the date of NPA.
(iii) The amount by which the notional amount due exceeds the compromise offer
would constitute the sacrifice.
(iv)
Notional Interest for the purpose of processing compromise proposals will be
calculated from the date of last charged interest in the account up to the date of
final payment. However, the computation of notional interest in the record
section of NPA ledger will be continued to be made.
(v)
However, in the cases where the proponent offers to pay the settled amount in
installments with One year MCLR/Base Rate/ documents rate/ stipulated rate ,
notional interest will be calculated only up to the period to which compromise
sum bears no interest.

For delayed period interest in respect of failed compromise proposal, Banks


IC no 14762/ Recovery/2016-17/11 dated 23.12.2016 will be complied with.

1.15. Interest rate in case of Deceased borrowal account:


1.15.1. In case of death of individual borrower/proprietor, the contract between bank and the
deceased ceased to have effect. On receipt of the information of death, the debit balance as
on the date of death should be crystallized and legal notice is to be given to the legal heirs
for recalling and payment of the loan. In case of their failure to repay the loan, legal
process for realizing the amount by selling the securities, if available, is to be initiated.
1.15.2. If the legal heirs come forward to repay the loan/continue with the account, a separate
account is to be opened in the name of the legal heirs and debit balance in the loan account
is to be transferred to that account and appropriate interest is to be charged.
1.16. Appropriate Charging of Interest :
For any irregularities for non-compliance/non-observance of provisions under this policy and
relevant instructions issued from time to time resulting in leakage of revenue, the branch
incumbent will be held responsible.
1.17. Fair Practices Code for Lenders on Interest Rate/Charges :

5.12. Other Guidelines on Restructured Advances:


i.
The detailed guidelines as per Domestic Lending Policy will be adhered to.
ii.
In regard to the computation of Economic Sacrifice, the guidelines of RBI is as under:
The erosion in the fair value of the advance should be computed as the difference between the
fair value of the loan before and after restructuring. Fair value of the loan before restructuring
will be computed as the present value of the cash flows representing the interest at the existing
rate charged on the advance before restructuring and the principal, discounted at a rate equal to
the banks BPLR/ Base Rate/One year MCLR as on the date of restructuring plus appropriate
term premium and credit risk premium for the borrower category on the date of restructuring.
Fair value of the loan after restructuring will be computed as the present value of the cash flows
representing the interest at the rate charged on the advance on restructuring and the principal,
discounted at a rate equal to the Banks BPLR/ Base Rate/ One year MCLR on the date of
restructuring plus appropriate term premium and credit risk premium for the borrower category
on the date of restructuring.
iii. In case of CDR, JLF, Consortium/ Multiple Banking and BIFR cases, Bank may fall in line with
the CDR/ Lead Bank / Major lender with proper justification for deciding the rate of interest as
well as discounting factor.
Note: Authority for allowing Relaxation in rate of interest on Traditional advances are
prescribed in Paragraph 8.4 to 8.9 of Annexure H.

8.12. CAC is empowered to waive/reduction in Switchover fees in case existing Term Loan
linked with Base Rate and opt for MCLR linked rate.
8.13. Others:
a) The BH/ ZLCC/FGMLCC may permit the eligible maximum concessions in interest rate for
those borrowal accounts, where sanction is made by the Branches/ Zones within their purview
and also upto their own sanctioning powers.
b) FGMO/ZO/Branch should invariably put on record the rationale/ justification for permitting/
recommending any reduction in rate of interest on case to case basis.
c) The FGMLCC/ HLCC GM/HLCC ED/CAC who are involved in the loan sanctioning process
may permit concessions in the interest rate for loan up to their respective sanctioning powers.
d) The CAC / HLCC ED in absence of CMD may permit concessions in the accounts sanctioned
by the MCBOD, however the same will be reported to the MCBOD in subsequent meeting.
The MCBOD may also permit concessions in the interest rate upto Base Rate (Existing)/
MCLR (Revised) based on suitable justification on the same.
e) The concessions should not be perceived as the main or only strategy to attract / retain
business. The concessions/ relaxations may be passed on to the borrower in order to
effectively meet competitive pressures with minimum loss of income after fully satisfied
about the validity of reasons offered by the Borrowers/ Branches. However, in all such cases
where concessions/ relaxations are permitted, the Risk Grading and the pricing should be
indicated separately.
f) The Borrower enjoying any other benefits of interest rate reduction like festival bonanza etc
will not be eligible for further reduction in rate of interest.
g) The rate of interest applicable for proposals under Govt. Sponsored Schemes like PMRY,
SGSY etc and other schematic loans under Agriculture and MSME sector will be charged
without allowing any reduction.
h) In case of MSME advances, if the Branches are unable to assess original investment criteria, a
certificate with regard to investment in plant and machinery / equipment should be obtained
from a Chartered Accountant.

Interest Rate on Loans & Advances

Page 46

i) If any concessions or authority to allow such concessions is mentioned in any specific scheme
of the Bank, the same will be followed for allowing concessions under the said scheme.
j) The concession /relaxations/ deviations granted by higher authorities will be allowed by
sanctioning authority on next review/renewal and there is no need to seek concession
/relaxations/ deviations subsequently, provided there is no change in Risk Rating.
k) A letter of such revision / reduction in interest rate in case of existing borrowers stipulating all
the terms of interest rate revision/reduction should be given to borrowers and their
acknowledgement/acceptance will be obtained and held with the security document.
l) Where concessions are extended to customer in rate of interest & if he/she/they does/do not
avail the facility at this rate within two months of the sanction or from the scheduled date of
disbursement, the concessions in the rate of interest may be reviewed / withdrawn by the
sanctioning authority considering the prevailing interest rate scenario, liquidity position of the
Bank/ Market etc. While accepting any proposal from the borrower for reduction of interest
rate, the above terms must be communicated to the borrower through the sanction letter.
m) Concurrent auditors/ Inspecting officials will check the cases of concessions in Rates of
Interest at Branch level and ensure that the same have been approved by the appropriate
authority and charged as per guidelines.

9. Miscellaneous Issues on rate of interest:
9.1. General Guidelines:a) Construction Contractors - The rate of interest as applicable to the category of advance of the
borrower at the time of availing the loan shall be applicable.
b) Open Term Loan to existing units of the bank/other banks - The rate of interest as applicable
to the category of advance of the borrower at the time of availing the loan shall be applicable.
c) Reset clause must invariably be incorporated in all the sanctions viz loans sanctioned at fixed
rate of interest or loan sanctioned on floating rate of interest aiming to hedge interest rate risk
arising out of change of any regulatory conditions, market changes etc.
d) Procedure for resetting Interest Rate:

The re-set clause is to be exercised at the end of re-set period.

The condition of reset clause will invariably be part of sanction letter. The reset may be
subject to other external bench marks like SBAR, LIBOR, G-Sec as per practice or mutually
agreed terms.

The Branch will review the position well in advance.

e) In case of Devolvement of L/C or invocation of Bank Guarantee, interest will be charged @


MCLR+7.10% on the amount so devolved or invoked for the period of default.
f) In case of sanction of Adhoc limit, additional interest of 2.00% over and above the rate
stipulated for regular limit will be stipulated for the Adhoc portion only (Exception export Credit).
For TOD, the rate of interest will be MCLR+7.10%+2%.
g) The applicable rate of interest (fixed/floating/reset), reset clause as well as the foreclosure
charges (wherever applicable) should be clearly and correctly stipulated in the loan sanction
communication to the borrower as well as in the loan documents.
h) The Revised rate will be applicable to all future loans and advances and in case of existing
working capital facility, the revised rate of interest based on risk rating will be considered while
reviewing/ renewing the facility.
