RBI said it regulates banks and non-banking finance companies and it does not regulate online lending platform

The Delhi High Court on Tuesday observed that online lending platforms, offering short-term personal loans through mobile apps, cannot be allowed to charge exorbitant interest and processing fees.

“Rate of interest should not be exorbitant. Just look at the difficulties. An expert body is required. If you people are so slow in taking action, we will do it with our order with the help of an expert committee,” a bench of Chief Justice D.N. Patel and Justice Jyoti Singh said, while asking the Centre and Reserve Bank of India (RBI) to look into the issue.

The High Court said it expects that the Centre and RBI will come out with some solution by the next date of hearing on August 27. The court was hearing a petition seeking regulation of online lending platforms through mobile apps.

RBI ducks responsibility

The RBI said it regulates banks and non-banking finance companies and it does not regulate online lending platform and that the Central government has the power to do so.

The petitioner, Dharanidhar Karimojji, claimed that more than 300 mobile applications are providing instant loans ranging from 1,500 to 30,000 for 7 to 15 day periods.
