    The Company has laid down appropriate internal principles and procedures in determining interest rates and processing and other charges.

The rate of interest to be charged depends much upon the gradation of the risk of borrower viz. the financial strength, business, regulatory environment affecting the business, competition, past history of the borrower etc. The rate of interest will be annualized so that the borrower is aware of the exact rates that would be charged to the account.
