1. Preface:
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) vide its Notification No. DNBS. 204 / CGM (ASR)-2009 dated
2 January 2009, RBI/2023-24/53 DoR.MCS.REC.28/01.01.001/2023-24 dated August 18,
2023 and vide its Guidelines on Fair Practices Code for NBFCs, as amended from time to time
(RBI Regulations), has directed all NBFCs to make available the rates of interest and the
approach for gradation of risk on web-site of the companies.
In compliance with the requirements of the RBI Regulations mentioned above and the Fair
Practices Code adopted by the Company, the Hiranandani Financial Services Private Limited
(“Company/HFS”) has adopted this Interest Rate Policy broadly outlining the Interest Rate
Model and the Company’s approach to gradation of risks in its lending business.
2. Interest Rate Model:
The interest rate applicable to each loan account is assessed on a case specific basis, based on
evaluation of various factors detailed below:
a. Tenor of the Loan & Payment Terms – term of the loan; terms of payment of interest (viz
monthly, quarterly, yearly repayment); terms of repayment of principal; moratorium
period etc.
b. Internal and External Costs of Funds – the rate at which the funds necessary to provide
loan facilities to customers are sourced, normally referred to as our external cost of funds.
Internal cost of funds being the expected return on equity.
c. Internal cost loading – the costs of doing business. Factors such as the complexity of the
transaction, capital risk weightage, the size of the transaction, location of the borrower
and other factors that affect the costs associated with a particular transaction would be
taken into account before arriving at the final interest rate quoted to a customer.
d. Security – Any offering of security by the borrower would be considered while assigning
the risk premium for the particular loan account.
e. Credit Risk – as a matter of prudence, credit loss (risk) cost would be factored into all
transactions. The amount of credit risk cost applicable to a particular transaction depends
on the internal assessment of the credit strength of the customer.
f. Structuring Premium: A premium may be applied to a loan in case the loan has any
significant structuring elements with respect to collateral, or other aspects of transaction
structure.
g. Margin: A markup to reflect other costs / overheads to be charged to the loan and our
designed margin.
h. ALCO View & Market Dynamics: Views of the Asset Liability Management Committee
(ALCO) on product pricing with respect to prevailing interest rates for similar products /
services, market conditions and interest rate outlook shall be taken into consideration.
i. Other Factors – Matching tenor cost, market liquidity, RBI Policies on credit flow, offerings
by competition, stability in earnings and employment, subvention and subsidies available,
deviations permitted, further business opportunities, external ratings, industry trends,
repayment capacity of borrower, etc. Switchover options will also be relevant factors in
determining interest rate to be charged.
3. Approach for Gradation of Risk
The risk premium attached with a customer shall be assessed inter-alia based on the
following factors:
a) profile and market reputation of the borrower
b) inherent nature of the product, type / nature of facility, refinance avenues, loan to value
of asset financed,
c) tenure of relationship with the borrower group, past repayment track record and
historical performance of our similar clients,
d) group strength, overall customer yield, future potential, repayment capacity based on
cash flows and other financial commitments of the borrower, mode of payment
e) nature and value of primary and secondary collateral / security,
f) type of asset being financed, end use of the loan represented by the underlying asset,
g) interest, default risk in related business segment,
h) regulatory stipulations, if applicable,
i) possibility of changes in external benchmark rates.
j) any other factors that may be relevant in a particular case.
4. Rate of Interest:
a) Interest rates offered could be on fixed rate basis or floating rate basis.
b) In case of floating / variable interest rate, the interest rate will be linked to HFS
Benchmark rate “HFSRR”.
c) The Benchmark rate will be a rate approved by the Asset Liability Committee (ALCO) of
the Company, from time to time. The Benchmark rates will be reviewed periodically by
the ALCO considering the various external benchmark rates. The methodology for
calculating the HFSRR may be changed at any time with the approval of the ALCO.
d) The rate of interest for the same product and tenor availed during same period by
different customers need not be standardized. The final lending rate applicable to each
customer will be assessed based on various factors.
e) Presently, the Company is offering its products at the interest rates not exceeding thirty
percent.
f) Loan amount, Annualised Rate of Interest and tenure of loan will be communicated to the
borrower in the sanction letter and the apportionment of instalments towards interest
and principal dues shall be made available to the borrower.
g) Besides normal Interest, the Company may levy additional charges for adhoc facilities,
penal charges / default charges for any delay or default by the borrower in servicing of
the amounts due under the loan. The details of Penal charges for late repayment, schedule
of penal charges on non-compliances of loan terms and conditions will be mentioned in
bold in the loan agreement and will form part of schedule of charges.
h) Besides interest, other financial charges like processing charges, cheque bouncing
charges, pre-payment / foreclosure charges, part disbursement charges, cheque swaps,
cash handling charges, charges on various other services like issuing NO DUE certificates,
NOC, letters ceding charge on assets/ security, security swap & exchange charges etc.
would be levied by the company wherever considered necessary. In addition, the Goods
and Services Tax and other taxes, levies or cess would be collected at applicable rates from
time to time.
i) The rate of interest applicable to each customer is subject to change as the situation
warrants and is subject to the management’s perceived risk on a case to case basis.
j) The interest rates can change at any periodicity, depending upon change in market
benchmark rates, company’s cost of funds and other market conditions.
k) Intimation of change of interest or other charges would be communicated to customers
in a manner deemed fit, as per terms of the loan documents. Any revision in interest or
other charges would be with prospective effect.
l) The interest re-set period for floating rate lending would be decided by the Company from
time to time, applying the same decision criteria as considered for fixing of interest rates.
m) In the event of change in interest rate, the borrower shall be given an option to enhance
the equated monthly instalment or increase the tenor of the loan or a combination of both
and to prepay, in part or in full, the outstanding loan amount at any point of time
n) In case of staggered disbursements, the rates of interest would be subjected to review and
the same may vary according to the prevailing rate at the time of successive
disbursements or as may be decided by the Company.
5. Switchover of floating rate to fixed rate
At the time of reset of interest rates, Company may provide the option to the borrowers to
switch over from floating interest rate to fixed interest rate. The option to switchover shall be
available with the customer only once during the tenor of the loan.
The Company shall fix the new interest rate in accordance with this policy and further levy
switchover and other charges for the same.
6. Quantum of charges
While levying any charges in addition to the applicable interest, the Company shall ensure
that –
a) the charges are not capitalised;
b) the charges are reasonable and commensurate with the non-compliance;
c) charges are not discriminatory within a particular loan/product category;
d) charges for individual borrowers are not higher than charges for non-individual
