The further hearings related to the loan moratorium case will be done by November 2. The Central government’s affidavit will provide relief to a large section of people and it also stated that the difference between simple interest and compound interest will be directly credited in the accounts of borrowers.
It will be beneficial to all those people who kept paying their loan amounts from March 1 to August 31. This scheme will order all the financial institutions to credit the difference in the borrower’s account who was paying all the amount when the world was facing a financial crisis.
