RBI today asked banks to ensure that Micro Finance institutions (MFI) comply with the cap on individual loans and margin cap in order to be eligible to classify such loans under priority sector.
Cap on individual loans, RBI said is the average Base Rate of five largest commercial banks by assets multiplied by 2.75 per annum or cost of funds plus margin cap, whichever is less.
The average of the Base Rate is advised by RBI.
The central bank further said from April 1, the margin cap should not exceed 10 per cent for MFIs having loan portfolio exceeding Rs 100 crore and 12 per cent for others, as against 12 per cent for all hitherto.
