Interest Rate Policy

INTEREST RATE POLICY

Reserve Bank of India (RBI) had vide its Circular DNBS / PD / CC No. 95/ 03.05.002/ 2006-07 dated May 24, 2007 advised that Boards of Non-Banking Finance Companies (NBFC’s) lay out appropriate internal principles and procedures in determining interest rates, processing and other charges.

This was reiterated vide RBI’s circular DNBS (PD) C.C. No. 133 / 03.10.001/ 2008-09 January 2, 2009, whereby which RBI advised the NBFCs to adopt appropriate interest rate model taking into account relevant factors and to disclose the rate of interest, gradations of risk and rationale for charging different rates of interest to different category of borrowers.

JCIPL’s policy should always be read in conjunction with RBI guidelines, directives, circulars and instructions. The company will apply best industry practices so long as such practice does not conflict with or violate RBI guidelines.

In order to ensure its standards of transparency, in conformity with the stipulations of the RBI’s directives, the Company has adopted the following interest rate policy for determining Interest Rates, Processing and Other Charges. This Policy applies to clients whose loans are booked in the Company.

INTEREST RATE

Tenor of the Loan – The interest rate charge will depend on the term of the loan; structure of the loan; terms of payment of interest.

Internal cost loading – The interest rate charged will also take into account costs of doing business.

Internal and External Costs of Funds – The rate of interest charged is also affected by the rate at which the funds necessary to provide loan facilities to customers are sourced, normally referred to as the Company’s external cost of funds. Internal cost of funds being the expected return on equity issued, is also a relevant factor. The interest rate charged will also take into account costs of doing business.

Credit Risk – As a matter of prudence, bad debt provision cost should be factored into all transactions. This cost is then reflected in the final interest rate quoted to a customer. The amount of the bad debt provision applicable to a particular transaction depends on our internal assessment of the credit strength of the customer.

Other Factors – The rate of interest shall be based on the cost of borrowed funds, matching tenor cost, market liquidity, RBI policies on credit flow, offerings by competition, tenure of customer relationship, market reputation, cost of disbursements, inherent credit and default risk in the products and customer per se arising from customer segment, profile of the customers, stability in earning and employment, deviations permitted, ancillary business opportunities, future potential, group strength and overall customer yield, nature and value of primary and collateral securities, past repayment track record of the customers, external ratings of the customers , industry trends, switchover options, canvassed accounts etc.

The company may adopt discrete interest rate model whereby the rate of interest for same product and tenor availed during same period by customers would not be a standardized one but could be different for different customers depending upon consideration of any or combination of a few or all factors listed out above.

The interest amount would be intimated to the customer.

The interest rates may be offered on a fixed, floating, variable basis which would be up to 72% annualised rate of interest.

Interest rates shall be intimated to the customers at the time of sanction/ availing of the loan and the equated instalments/Balloon Payment/Bullet payment apportionment towards interest and principal dues shall be made available to the customer.

APPROACH FOR RISK GRADATION

  2. inherent nature of the product, type / nature of facility,
  3. tenure of relationship with the borrower group, past repayment track record and historical performance of our similar clients,

PROCESSING / DOCUMENTATION AND OTHER CHARGES

All processing / documentation and other charges recovered are expressly stated in the Loan documents. They vary based on the loan product, geographical location, customer segment and generally represent the cost incurred in rendering the services to the customers.

The practices followed by other competitors in the market would also be taken into consideration while deciding the charges.

Processing charges will be charged on case-to-case basis.
