RBI Defers Implementation of Norms on Penal Charges Levied by Banks
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) deferred the implementation of norms regarding penal charges levied by banks and financial institutions to April 1, 2024, for new loans. This decision came after requests from regulated entities.
Initially issued in August, these norms were set to be implemented from January 1, 2024.
According to the norms, a penalty, if charged for non-compliance with the material terms and conditions of the loan contract by the borrower, should be categorized as 'penal charges'. These charges shall not be levied in the form of 'penal interest' added to the interest rate on advances. Furthermore, no additional interest should be computed on such charges.
