RBI asks banks to provide individual borrowers option to switch from floating to fixed interest rate

The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has instructed regulated entities, including banks and Non Banking Finance Companies (NBFCs), to offer personal loan borrowers the choice to switch from a floating interest rate to a fixed rate when resetting interest rates.
The move is expected to enhance borrower flexibility and align with changing financial conditions.
In a circular on ‘Reset of floating interest rate on equated monthly instalments (EMI) based personal loans the RBI stated the borrowers will also be given the choice to opt for enhancement in EMI or elongation of the tenor.
RBI has set a deadline for banks and lenders to implement these personal loan instructions by December 31, 2023.
Both existing and new loans will need to follow these instructions.

Key Highlights :

Personal loans will have both categories of fixed and floating interest rates.
The borrowers should be provided an option to switch over to a fixed rate according to the board-approved policy of regulated entities.
The number of times a borrower will be allowed to switch during the tenor of the loan should be specified in the policy.
As per the RBI definition, personal loans are the loans given to individuals and consist of consumer credit, education loan, loans given for the creation or enhancement of immovable assets (such as housing loans), and loans given for investment in financial assets (shares and debentures).

What is Floating Interest Rates ?

A floating interest rate is an interest rate that changes periodically.
The rate of interest moves up and down, or “floats,” reflecting economic or financial market conditions.
A floating interest rate can also be referred to as an adjustable or variable interest rate because it can vary over the term of a debt obligation.
A floating interest rate uses a reference rate as the base
In order to arrive at the floating rate, a spread (or margin) is added to the reference rate.
Floating Interest Rate = Base Rate + Spread
These rates can be adjusted on a quarterly, half-yearly, or annual basis.

The G20 Pandemic Fund has sanctioned a $25 million proposal from the Department of Animal Husbandry & Dairying, Ministry of Fisheries, Animal Husbandry & Dairying (DAHD) in India.
The proposal centers on “Animal Health Security Strengthening in India for Pandemic Preparedness and Response.”
The devastating consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic have underscored the critical need for collaborative action to establish robust One Health systems and allocate additional resources for pandemic prevention, preparedness, and response.
This initiative reflects the global recognition of the interconnection between human, animal, and environmental health. By adopting a One Health approach, nations aim to minimize the impact of future pandemics and foster a more resilient and collaborative global health system.
Animal-Origin Emergencies: The World Health Organization (WHO) has identified that 5 out of the 6 declared international public health emergencies originated from animals. This highlights the necessity of adopting a One Health approach that emphasizes animal health security as an integral aspect of pandemic preparedness and response (PPR).
Fund’s Objective: Established under Indonesia’s G20 Presidency, the Pandemic Fund focuses on bolstering pandemic prevention, preparedness, and response capabilities at global, regional, and national levels. Its emphasis is on low- and middle-income countries.
Global Response: The Pandemic Fund received an overwhelming response, with approximately 350 Expressions of Interest (EoI) and 180 complete proposals in its initial call for funding. However, the requested grant amounts exceeded the fund’s initial allocation of $338 million, reaching over $2.5 billion.
Grants and Allocation: On July 20, 2023, the Pandemic Fund’s Governing Board approved 19 grants in its first round of funding distribution. These grants aim to enhance pandemic resilience across 37 countries in six regions.

India’s Proposal:

India’s proposal centers on various critical interventions:
Strengthening and integrating disease surveillance and early warning systems.
Upgrading and expanding the laboratory network.
Enhancing interoperable data systems and building capacity for data analytics to aid risk analysis and communication.
Strengthening health security for transboundary animal diseases.
Enhancing India’s involvement in regional cooperation through cross-border collaboration.

This initiative marks a significant stride in the Indian Government’s commitment to enhancing road safety by elevating the safety standards of motor vehicles weighing up to 3.5 tonnes.
The launch of Bharat NCAP signals the Indian Government ‘s commitment to safeguarding road users and fostering a culture of vehicle safety.
By empowering consumers with information and incentivizing manufacturers to raise safety standards, the program aims to enhance road safety while bolstering India’s automotive industry’s global presence.
Program Objective: The primary objective of Bharat NCAP is to offer car customers a tool to assess and compare the crash safety of various motor vehicles available in the market.
Voluntary Participation: Car manufacturers can voluntarily subject their vehicles to testing based on the Automotive Industry Standard (AIS) 197. These tests will evaluate vehicle performance in terms of crash safety. Based on the performance of vehicles in the tests, they will be assigned star ratings for Adult Occupants (AOP) and Child Occupants (COP) safety.
Informed Purchasing: Potential car buyers can use these star ratings as a reference to make informed decisions when comparing the safety standards of different vehicles.
Impact on Demand: The program is anticipated to drive the demand for safer cars, prompting manufacturers to align with customer preferences for enhanced safety features.
Global Competitiveness: By adhering to high safety standards, Indian cars will become more competitive in the global market, potentially boosting the export potential of Indian car manufacturers.
Cultivating Safety-Conscious Market: This initiative is expected to contribute to the development of a safety-conscious car market in India, prioritizing the well-being of vehicle occupants.
