The <keyword id="6354335" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="20" keywordseo="reserve-bank-of-india">Reserve Bank of India</keyword> and the Finance Ministry have already filed separate additional affidavits in the apex court saying that the banks, financial and non-banking financial institutions will credit into the accounts of eligible borrowers by November 5 the difference between compound and simple interest collected on loans of up to Rs 2 crore during the <keyword id="117489" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="moratorium">moratorium</keyword> scheme period. A bench of Justices Ashok Bhushan, R Subhash Reddy and M R Shah was requested by Solicitor General Tushar Mehta that the hearing in the loan moratorium case be deferred as he would be busy arguing on behalf of the Centre in other matter relating to the Central Vista project. "These moratorium matters were listed yesterday but they came up today. I am requesting for an adjournment considering I have a case (Central Vista) where I will be arguing" the law officer said. A letter seeking deferment of the hearing in the case was also circulated by advocate-on-record Anil Katiyar for the Centre to the parties and the bench. The top court acceded to the request and adjourned the hearing on pleas including the one filed by Gajendra Sharma on November 5. The pleas pertained to charging of interest on interest by banks on EMIs which have not been paid by borrowers after availing the loan moratorium scheme of RBI during March 1 to August 31. Earlier, the RBI had filed the affidavit saying that it has asked all banks, financial and non-banking financial institutions to take "necessary actions" to credit into the accounts of eligible borrowers the difference between compound and simple interest collected on loans of up to Rs 2 crore during the moratorium scheme. Prior to this, the central government had told the apex court that lenders have been asked to credit into the accounts of eligible borrowers the difference between compound and simple interest collected on loans of up to Rs 2 crore during the RBI's loan moratorium scheme by November 5. The government had said that the ministry has issued a scheme as per which lending institutions would credit this amount in the accounts of borrowers for the 6-month loan moratorium period which was announced following the COVID-19 pandemic situation. On October 14, the apex court had observed that the Centre should implement "as soon as possible" the interest waiver on loans of up to Rs 2 crore under the RBI's moratorium scheme and had said that the common man's Diwali is in the government's hands. The RBI had on March 27 issued the circular which allowed lending institutions to grant a moratorium on payment of instalments of term loans falling due between March 1, 2020, and May 31,2020, due to the pandemic. Later, the moratorium was extended till August 31 this year.

Supreme Court verdict on loan moratorium case deferred to November 5

The moratorium was issued earlier this month by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which said it aimed to address areas with "heightened levels of community transmission in order to respond to recent, unexpected developments in the trajectory of the COVID-19 pandemic, including the rise of the Delta variant."It was intended "to target specific areas of the country where cases are rapidly increasing, which likely would be exacerbated by mass evictions," the CDC said.But the court said that the CDC had no authority to issue such a moratorium. In its opinion issued Thursday, the conservative majority said it "strains credulity to believe" that the statute under which the moratorium was imposed - which allows the CDC to take extreme measures to staunch the spread of COVID-19 - "grants the CDC the sweeping authority that it asserts."Further, they argued, "If a federally imposed eviction moratorium is to continue, Congress must specifically authorize it."Justice Stephen Breyer wrote the dissenting opinion, which was supported by Justices Sonia Sotomayer and Elena Kagan. In their dissent, the justices argued that an eviction moratorium was actually a more mild measure than imposing a quarantine, which "arguably impose greater restrictions on individuals' rights and state police powers than do limits on evictions."According to a report from nonprofit research group the <a href="https://www.aspeninstitute.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/AI-017-FSP-Report_Eviction-Report_r4.pdf">Aspen Institute</a>, around 15 million people live in some 6.5 million households that are currently behind in rent. Biden had acknowledged that it was likely his eviction moratorium would be struck down, but said he was hoping to buy time to allow for the distribution of $46.5 billion in rent assistance money. So far, however, only around $5 billion of those funds has been disbursed, <a href="https://apnews.com/article/health-courts-pandemics-coronavirus-pandemic-daa34fb48a04dc9f3ddad94fb6b4cbb2?utm_campaign=SocialFlow&amp;utm_source=Twitter&amp;utm_medium=APedium=AP">AP</a> reported.The moratorium was an extension of an earlier moratorium put in place during the Trump administration and was set to expire October 3.The White House called the Supreme Court decision "disappointing" and called on state and local agencies to "urgently act" to prevent evictions.Several states and cities have already said they will keep the current eviction moratorium in place. "California renters will NOT be impacted by this <keyword id="11893589" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="news" source="Orion">news</keyword>, the state's eviction moratorium remains in effect. We're focused on ensuring tenants and small landlords get the rent relief they need under California's renter assistance program, the largest in the country," a <a href="https://twitter.com/CAgovernor/status/1431080302596681729">tweet</a> from the Office of the Governor of California said.Mayor Bill de Blasio called the Supreme Court "a group of right-wing extremists" and said that New York "won't stand for this vile, unjust decision."Several members of Congress, including Rhode Island Rep. David Cicilline and <a href="https://twitter.com/CoriBush">Missouri Rep. Cori Bush</a> voiced disappointment with the ruling. Cicilline said in a <a href="https://twitter.com/davidcicilline/status/1431075291116589058">tweet</a> that Congress should return to session to vote to extend the moratorium.

<ul class="summary-list"><li>A federal judge in Texas struck down the constitutionality of an <keyword id="9865732" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="eviction-moratorium">eviction moratorium</keyword>.</li><li>The moratorium aimed at preventing the spread of COVID-19 due to housing instability.</li><li>But several landlords argued that the moratorium violated their rights as property owners.</li></ul>A federal judge in Texas ruled that an eviction moratorium put into place by <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2020/09/02/your-money/eviction-moratorium-covid.html">the Centers for Disease Control and supported by former President Donald Trump</a> is unconstitutional. US District Judge John Barker in the Eastern District of Texas said that the creation of such a moratorium "criminalizes the use of state legal proceedings to vindicate property rights." In a <a href="https://www.dropbox.com/s/qt71rci75p5znj4/Texas%20ruling.pdf?dl=0">21-page summary judgment</a>, Barker, a Trump appointee, said that the eviction moratorium left open the possibility that federal agencies could extend further control over eviction practices in the future. "The government's argument would thus allow a nationwide eviction moratorium long after the COVID-19 pandemic ends," he wrote. "The eviction remedy could be suspended at any time based on fairness as perceived by Congress or perhaps an agency official delegated that judgment. Such broad authority over state remedies begins to resemble, in operation, a prohibited federal police power.""Although the COVID-19 pandemic persists, so does the Constitution," Barker wrote.

In February, President Joe Biden <a href="https://www.cnet.com/personal-finance/biden-eviction-moratorium-what-renters-should-know-if-ban-extends-to-sept-30/">extended</a> the moratorium through March.A <a href="https://www.census.gov/data/tables/2021/demo/hhp/hhp24.html">census survey</a> completed in the first two weeks of February found that nearly half of the 9,231,745 people surveyed said it was "somewhat likely" or "very likely" they would be evicted in the next two months. The ruling is a victory for property owners who had argued that the moratorium interfered with their ability to run their businesses and was an abuse of government power. "The CDC attempted to use COVID-19 as an opportunity to grab power, and the court rightfully corrected this egregious overreach," Robert Henneke, general counsel for the Texas Public Policy Foundation and a lawyer for the plaintiffs, told <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2021/02/25/politics/judge-evictions-moratorium-unconstitutional/index.html">CNN</a> in a statement.The case will likely be appealed in the US Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit, <a href="https://thehill.com/regulation/court-battles/540617-judge-rules-cdc-eviction-moratorium-unconstitutional">The Hill</a> reported.

Jim Banks and Doug Lamborn, argued that the present moratorium is illegal due to a recent ruling by a US district court judge and the opinion of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh; the justice wrote in a concurring opinion that the CDC had "exceeded its existing statutory authority" in issuing the moratorium."The CDC does not have the power to bypass Congress or ignore the Judicial System of the United States," said the letter. "In order to restore the credibility of the agency, the Center for Disease Control must return to its stated mission.""We urge you to immediately halt these illegal actions and rescind the CDC's eviction moratorium," the letter concluded.The current eviction moratorium was extended on August 3rd after originally being set to expire at the July.

Hours after <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/chaos-as-house-fails-to-extend-federal-eviction-moratorium-2021-7">failing to pass a bill</a> that would have extended the eviction moratorium, the House on Friday entered a recess that'll last until August. The eviction moratorium, first set up in September 2020 in response to the financial devastation brought on by the <keyword id="1754604" type="PERSON" weightage="60" keywordseo="coronavirus">coronavirus</keyword>, was <a href="https://www.cdc.gov/media/releases/2021/s0624-eviction-moratorium.html">extended in June</a> by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The White House encouraged <keyword id="1575" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="60" keywordseo="Congress">Congress</keyword> to extend the moratorium past July, giving guidance to do so at the last minute. White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said in a <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/statements-releases/2021/07/29/statement-by-white-house-press-secretary-jen-psaki-on-biden-harris-administration-eviction-prevention-efforts/#:~:text=In%20June%2C%20when%20CDC%20extended,the%20moratorium%20past%20July%2031.%E2%80%9D" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">statement</a> that the Biden administration would have "strongly supported" the CDC in a decision to renew the moratorium. But a Supreme Court ruling specified that the decision to renew required congressional approval, the White House statement said.Democrats unanimously voted to pass the bill, but Republican House members blocked the legislation. After the bill failed, top Democrats expressed their disappointment in a <a href="https://www.speaker.gov/newsroom/73021-5">statement</a>."It is extremely disappointing that House and Senate Republicans have refused to work with us on this issue," said House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, and House Majority whip James Clyburn after the vote failed. "We strongly urge them to reconsider their opposition to helping millions of Americans and instead join with us to help renters and landlords hit hardest by the <keyword id="43587" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="60" keywordseo="pandemic">pandemic</keyword> and prevent a nationwide eviction crisis."Bush told Insider she's prepared to spend a second day sleeping outside the Capitol building in an attempt to get House democrats to reconvene."This is not the first time I've occupied in front of a government building. And this is not the first time I've had to sleep outside," she said. "I am prepared to stand out here if need be. Do I want to? No. Is it fun? Absolutely not. Would I rather be in my bed? Absolutely," she continued, adding that she had originally been scheduled to stump for congressional candidate Nina Turner."But this happened and I knew I could not leave without doing whatever I could to save lives," Bush told Insider. During her Friday night stayover, the Missouri lawmaker said she only got an hour of sleep in the cold and had "just a chair" and "a sleeping bag that I used as a blanket." Reps. Ayanna Pressley and Ilhan Omar also spent the night outside with Bush. Once the moratorium expires on July 31, about 7.4 million Americans will risk eviction in the next two months. That translates to about 16% of all renters, <a href="https://www.census.gov/programs-surveys/household-pulse-survey/data.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">according to Census Pulse Survey Data</a>.Meanwhile, landlords are poised to evict quickly, <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/eviction-moratorium-ending-what-to-expect-landlords-rents-tenants-2021-7">Business Insider's Alex Nicoll reported</a>. A New York lawyer told Insider that landlords want to be ready to serve eviction notices on August 1. These evictions could escalate the national homelessness crisis.It sends a "very disturbing message" when the House, Senate, and White House are all Democrat-run but lawmakers can't get legislation like this passed, Bush told Insider. So far, she hasn't heard from her House colleagues about the potential of lawmakers returning to the floor.But multiple members of Congress - like Reps. Jamaal Bowman, Bonnie Watson Coleman, and Maxine Waters, who introduced the bill to extend the moratorium on Friday - told Bush they'd return if called back.

Sources said that banks are evaluating their loan portfolio with regard to customers who availed moratorium of interest repayment during the first instalment period of March 1 to May 31. Fresh extension on moratorium will be offered only to certain clients with good track record and healthy business operations. "Unlike the first round, banks will now be extending the moratorium selectively (1m-3m) basis to new/old customers, while good customers too will be reluctant, given the higher interest cost and some pick-up in business activity," said Emkay Global in a report prepared after talking to several bankers on the fresh announcements by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI). As part of COVID-19 relief package, the RBI on Friday extended the moratorium on term loans and interest on working capital loans by three months till August 31. Also, as a relief for working capital borrowers, it allowed conversion of accumulated interest on these loans to Funded-Interest Term Loan (as typically happens under restructuring) instead of one-shot payment at the end of the moratorium, but still payable before March 31, 2021. Bankers are indicating that instead of the 3 month moratorium, forbearance on asset classification or selective restructuring (mainly for SME) would have been a better solution, with business activities resuming gradually. Longer moratoriums are acceptable for long-tenure loans like mortgage, but not for short-tenure loans, and also disrupts credit discipline even for relatively good customers in the long run, the brokerage said in its report on the basis of comments from bankers. It is now expected that that salaried class, which was relatively reluctant in the first round, may opt for a moratorium in the second round due to rising job losses/pay cuts. Moratorium behaviour from corporates was mixed in the first round, with even good rated corporates availing moratorium, but may not take the extension. Collection from micro finance segment borrowers still remains slow due to restriction in conducting centre meetings and thus, banks may selectively extend a short moratorium on need basis in specific areas, the brokerage said.

Banks could extend RBI's second moratorium 'selectively'
