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.

Even though the government is yet to take a stand on whether or not the interest accrued during the moratorium period will be waived off, the payments for borrowers are going to start coming due from today. <div type="Article" hostid="261" msid="77758597" title="Loan moratorium still ends on Aug 31 while Supreme Court gives the government another week to clarify if accrued interest should be waived" mstype="2" mssubtype="0"></div> As a borrower, you fit into one of three categories: <ol><li>Someone who didn’t avail the moratorium</li><li>Someone who availed the moratorium and is still facing financial difficulties</li><li>Someone who availed the moratorium but only for the sake of keeping liquidity on hand</li></ol>Someone who didn’t avail the moratorium If you’re a borrower that did not avail the moratorium facility offered by the RBI over the last six months, nothing changes. Your monthly payments continue as is, and there is no change in your overall loan payments scheme. Someone who availed the moratorium but can afford to pay Not everyone who availed the moratorium was facing a financial crisis. Someone did it to ensure that there was some extra cash on hand in case things took a turn for the worse. Even with the matter of interest waiver pending with the Supreme Court, banks are likely to recommend a one-time payment rather than letting interest accrue further. According to the RBI, an interest waiver could lead to a loss of ₹2 lakh crore for banks in India. “If you have taken a moratorium, the bank will suggest depositing as much amount as you can,” a bank manager at one of India’s leading public sector banks told Business Insider. According to them, even if the Supreme Court decides to waive interest, the amount will go towards advance loan paid. Someone who availed the moratorium and is still facing financial difficulties Not every business has been impacted equally during the coronavirus lockdown — some have taken a bigger hit than others. Take the tourism industry as an example. India’s gross domestic product (<a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/policy/economy/news/indian-economy-contracts-23-9-in-the-april-june-quarter/articleshow/77854401.cms">GDP</a>) data released yesterday shows how the trade, hotels, transport &amp; communications showed the biggest dip in real gross value addition (GVA). So, if you’re one of the many who is still not in a position to make payments, you have the option to approach your bank to restructure your loan. This could mean smaller payments over a longer period, an extension of the moratorium, or relaxation of interest rates. “We look at restructuring of loans as a last resort. It’s only for customers you really need it, and there are no other options left to explore,” said the source. <div type="Article" hostid="261" msid="77391894" title="If you have a bank loan that you are unable to pay, restructuring is on its way" mstype="2" mssubtype="0"></div> All types of loans, whether its a personal loan or a corporate loan, can apply for restructuring provided they meet the RBI's eligibility requirements — like you should not have defaulted on your loan payments as of 1 March 2020 or within 30 days of that day. The outstanding amount of debt at that point of time will be considered for restructuring.

<keyword id="6383459" type="COMPANY" weightage="100" keywordseo="Ujjivan-Small-Finance-Bank">Ujjivan Small Finance Bank</keyword> (SFB) is expecting contraction in interest and fee incomes this fiscal due to business disruptions caused by COVID-19 and ensuing lockdowns, its annual report has said. The bank, however, said that the pandemic situation had a minimal impact on its books in FY 2019-20 as the nationwide lockdown was imposed in the last few days of March, by which time most of bank's collections had already come. The 2019-20 annual report said the lockdown "did impact the typically high year-end growth momentum of March, and our volumes stood lower than that envisaged earlier and significantly lower than that in the previous month, which affected the interest and fee income". The surplus liquidity carried as a buffer for the crisis period has led to a slight increase in finance cost for the last week of March, it said.

"Although we shall continue to accrue interest income on the outstanding portfolio including those accounts that opt for moratorium, there will be an overall contraction in interest income and fee income on account of lower business volumes due to lockdown and adherence to social distancing norms," the bank said in it outlook for 2020-21. However, the bank said it expects a steady reduction in cost of funds due to the several stimulus measures of the RBI to enhance liquidity in the banking system. The lender added that the impact on credit cost remains to be seen at the end of the moratorium and the end of dispensation on NPA (non-performing assets) classification at the end of August 2020. Citing customer surveys, Ujjivan SFB said there have been temporary dip in household income levels in the wake of COVID-19 crisis and addressing the credit needs of this segment would help customers resurrect their businesses and livelihoods. "Given the ongoing crisis situation, we visualise it to be a good time to sensitise our customers and their families on basic savings and banking behaviour and promote goal based deposits, as our deposit rates remain attractive," it said. The bank said as digital payments have increased due to the pandemic, Ujjivan considers it as a good opportunity to expand initiatives and increase adoption to digital channels. "Our continued efforts on contactless and digital banking services will stand us in a good stead to further our outreach and build on this opportunity. Moreover, the volatility in the market yields is expected to help in the growth of institutional deposits," it said. Going forward, bank's strategy would be to manage the effects of lockdown and it will set in motion initiatives such as curtailing credit cost, re-starting business with repeat clients, scaling deposits and Sampoorna banking business. Bank's Sampoorna Family Banking solution was launched to address every household's comprehensive banking requirements, ranging from the youngest member to the senior citizens. The bank said it will also penetrate into new geographies and further push the growth of rural banking. "We will also introduce consumer durable loan, micro loan against property and use an analytics-based model to graduate group loan customers. Additionally, we will simplify our digital pre-approved loan process with the help of data analytics and expand our UPI QR based payment solutions for merchants via UPI acquirer platform and our UPI PSP Mobile app," Ujjivan SFB said in the report. Besides, the lender said that it will step up its cashless repayment further through its Money Mitra initiative and will offer banking services from neighbourhood shops and pilot cash collection points. "We are also planning to launch a voice-, video- and vernacular-based, easily navigable mobile banking app for microfinance customers to drive digital usage," it said. Moving ahead, the bank will expand the product base with new channels of loan EMI payment via popular and easy-to-use platforms -- Popular UPI apps, BBPS, CCAvenue and Billdesk and use of BC and digital pre-approved individual loans via phone banking and mobile app, it said. Also, the bank will concentrate on semi-formal and formal MSME segments, led by its diversified product offering and relationship based approach. Further, the bank said it plans to launch fintech partnerships in supply chain finance domain to provide an additional lead channel and will also introduce digital onboarding platform for improved delivery processes. During 2019-20, Ujjivan SFB registered a 28 per cent growth in its gross advances at Rs 14,153 crore as on March 30, 2020. Deposits of the bank were up by 46 per cent at Rs 10,780 crore while the retail deposits rose 73 per cent to Rs 4,724 crore. Bank's total income in FY20 jumped by 49 per cent to Rs 3,026 crore, earning net profit of Rs 350 crore, which was higher by 76 per cent from a year ago. Ujjivan SFB, which began its operations in Februray 2017, got listed into the capital market in December 2019, which was termed as one of the most subscribed IPOs in 2019. The bank with its branches spanning across 24 states and union territories had a customer base of 54.4 lakh as on March 31, 2020.
