Borrower cannot be charged any amount not been explicitly mentioned in a factsheet, says regulator.

The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) on Monday released its final guidelines for microfinance loans, lifting an interest cap and allowing companies to have a board-approved policy to price for such lending.

The RBI will continue checking that microfinance institutions do not charge usurious rates. The regulator said each entity has to disclose pricing related information to borrowers in a standardised simplified factsheet. A borrower cannot be charged any amount that has not been explicitly mentioned in the factsheet.

Also, it has revised the definition of microfinance loans as a collateral-free loan given to a household having annual household income up to Rs 300,000. Currently, a microfinance borrower is identified by annual household income not exceeding Rs 125,000 for rural and Rs 200,000 for urban and semi-urban areas.
