RBI cautions micro finance lenders against usurious interest rates

By Economic Times - 6 months ago
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has warned lenders, particularly in the microfinance sector, against charging "usurious" interest rates by exploiting the regulator's freedom. While most lenders follow guidelines on the Key Facts Statement (KFS), some continue to impose undisclosed fees and high interest rates, particularly on small-value loans provided by microfinance institutions (MFIs) and non-banking financial companies (NBFCs).
