ROI Processing Fees & Other Charges
1. INTRODUCTION
In order to ensure its standards of transparency, in conformity with the stipulations of the Reserve Bank of India’s (hereafter referred to as ‘RBI’) directives, Bhanix Finance and Investment Limited (“BFIL”) has adopted the following interest rate policy:
2. INTEREST RATE MODEL AND APPROACH FOR GRADATION OF RISK
The interest rate to be charged to the borrower for the loans will be decided keeping in view the RBI’s guidelines.
- Interest rate will be arrived based on the following broad parameters:
a) Risk profile of the borrower;
b) Interest rate trend prevailing in the money market;
c) Cost of borrowings;
d) Interest rate charged by competitors;
e) Tenure of the borrowing;
f) Historical track record of the borrower with the BFIL ;
g) Administrative cost and profit margin.
- Interest rate would be intimated to the borrower at the time of sanction / availing of the loan.
- The rate of interest for the same product and tenor availed during same period by different borrower need not be uniform. It could vary for different products for the same or different borrower.
- The interest rates could be offered on fixed/variable rate basis.
- Interest is calculated on the loan amount sanctioned to the borrower.
- The interest shall be payable immediately on the due date as mentioned in the loan agreement oras communicated.
- In case of delay in payment of any dues by the borrower, the agreed upon rate of interest may been enhanced accordingly as delayed interest rate and such enhanced delayed rate of interest may be applied on the unpaid liability, indebtedness or part thereof which is due but not paid on due date for the period it remains unpaid. The aim of the BFIL is not to make money out of it but to encourage prompt and timely repayment of dues of the BFIL and to deter the borrower from intentional delay in honouring commitments. However, in deserving cases, the incremental rate on interest may be completely waived off or settled at reduced rates.
- No interest is payable on credit balance in borrower’s account.
- The final lending rate for each loan or various products offered by BFIL will be arrived at after taking into account market reputation, prevailing interest rate in the market, credit and default risk associated with the particular borrower/borrowers’ group, historical performance of the borrower/borrowers’ group, profile of the borrower/borrowers’ group, tenure of relationship with the borrower/borrowers’ group, the administrative cost and profit margin, etc. Such information is gathered based on information provided by the borrower/borrowers’ group, credit reports, market intelligence and any other information as available to BFIL.
- The lending rate of BFIL should not be less than the lowest of the rate of interest charged on the funds borrowed by BFIL. The lending rate is subject to change as per the discretion of management of BFIL based on the variables as set by the management of BFIL.
