ANNEXURE - 2
 
GUIDELINES ON CHARGING AND COMPOUNDING OF
INTEREST RATES ON AGRICULTURAL ADVANCES
(as per RBI guidelines)
 
(A). Guidelines on charging interest rate on agricultural advances:
 
(1).       Payment of interest should be insisted upon, only at the time of repayment of loan / instalments so fixed i.e. coinciding with the due dates i.e. interest should be demanded at the time of repayment of principal in the case of crop loans, and along with the instalment in the case of term loans.
(2).       In the case of direct agricultural advances, interest on crop loans (i.e. Vijaya Kisan Card / Vijaya Planters Card / Agricultural Cash credit/ Vijaya Krishi Vikas) and instalments not falling due in respect of term loans should not be compounded. In other words, interest on current dues should not be compounded. Only overdue portion can be compounded. Current dues mean the principal / instalment which has not become due for payment.
(3).       When crop loans or instalments under term loans become overdue , banks can add interest outstanding to the principal and compound the interest. However, total interest debited to an account should not exceed the principal amount in respect of short term advances to small and marginal farmers.
(4).       No penal interest should be charged for all Priority Sector loans including Agricultural loans upto Rs.25,000/=. For limits over Rs.25,000/=, the aggregate penal / additional interest should not exceed 2% over and above the rate of interest applicable / normally charged to the borrowers.
(5).       In respect of loans above Rs.25000/=, penal interest should be charged only on the overdue portion and not on the balance outstanding.
 
(B). Charging of interest under VKC and Modified Vijaya Krishi Vikas:
Guidelines on charging of interest rates for loans sanctioned under Vijaya Kisan Card Scheme have been stipulated vide HO Circular no:1/99 dated 01-01-1999. However, the salient features are reproduced below for ready reference:
 
The rate of interest will be the same as applicable to crop loans. The interest rate shall be fixed based on the total card limit fixed for which the card is issued and this rate shall be entered in all the loan documents. However, the interest rate shall be charged on the basis of the operative limit fixed for each year. The operative limit may vary depending upon the cropping pattern; change in scale of finance etc., and as and when the operative limit undergoes change, the rate of interest may also undergo a change depending upon the slab rate. The same procedure may be followed for operative limits sanctioned under Modified Vijaya Krishi Vikas for crop loans upto Rs.3 lakh.
 
(C). Periodicity of Charging & Compounding Interest rates on Direct Agricultural advances:
 
Guidelines regarding charging and compounding of interest rates on crop loans and term loans are as follows:
 
(i). Crop loans:
 
Guidelines for charging and compounding of interest rates for crop loans
 
(1).       In respect of advances for cultivation of short-duration crops, interest shall be debited and compounded at half-yearly rests, as on the last reporting Friday of September and March and the same may be compounded, if not paid.
(2).       In respect of cultivation of long-duration crops, interest may be debited at annual rests as on last reporting Friday of March and compounding in such cases shall be done at annual rests.
(3).       In respect of such of those cases, where the borrowers approach for financial assistance for cultivation of both short-duration and long-duration crops, the periodicity of debiting interest, i.e. half-yearly or yearly shall be decided based on the major crops cultivated.
(4).       Long-duration crops are those crops with crop season longer than one year; crops which are not long-duration crops, would be treated as short-duration crops.
 
(ii). Investment credit and Allied activities:
Guidelines for charging and compounding of interest rates for investment loans (term loans) and loans to allied activities are as follows:
 
(1).       In respect of term loans to Agriculture, the periodicity of debiting interest and compounding the same i.e., half-yearly or annually shall be decided based on the duration of the crops cultivated (i.e., short duration or annual crops) and compounded.
(2).       In respect of allied activities, interest shall be debited and compounded at half-yearly rests.
 
(iii). Collection of Interest during moratorium /gestation period in respect of Agricultural Development loans:
 
As regards collection of interest during the moratorium period, depending upon the income stream of the activity, and if the income is not generated during the moratorium/gestation period requiring capitalization, this aspect should be clearly brought out in the sanction communication letter by the sanctioning authorities.
Besides, sanctioning authorities should also specifically mention the periodicity of debiting interest and compounding the same in the sanction communication.
 
(D). Periodicity of Charging and compounding of interest rates on Indirect Agricultural Advances:
 
 
Interest on all Indirect Agricultural Advances shall be charged on monthly basis except the following;
 
(1) Loans to PACS/LAMPS/FSS      -   Quarterly rests but not to be compounded.
 
(2) Loans granted for Agriculture and allied activities to Corporates/Partnership Firm and institutions, 2/3 of loans in excess of Rs.1 crore in aggregate per borrower is treated as indirect Agriculture, the charging and compounding of interest for entire loan should be half yearly or yearly as applicable to Direct agricultural advances referred as B(i) & (ii), as the case may be.
 
(3) Loans to Agri-clinics/Agri-business               -   Quarterly rests
 
(4) Loans under VGCC Scheme under
      Financial inclusion                                      -   Half yearly
