Cooperatives department announces cap on interest rates charged by private money lenders
Nashik: The cooperative department has announced a cap on interest rates charged my private money lenders for agriculture and non-agriculture borrowings, making it mandatory for them to display their interest rates. According to orders from deputy district registrar Fayaz Mulani, private money lenders must display their interest rates, which should not exceed the allotted limit. "The money lenders can charge different rates for agriculture and non-agriculture borrowers, but they cannot exceed the interest charged. Failing to comply will result in action by the govt," a senior officer from the department said. The kharif season has started, and farmers who are unable to get crop and other loans approach private money lenders. "Some of them charge exorbitantly, leading to farmers getting caught in a vicious circle of debt. The interest forces them to sell off their property and, in certain cases, take extreme steps. The department has therefore decided to visit the premises of registered money lenders to ensure they stick to the norms," said the officer. According to Maharashtra Money Lending (Regulation) Act 2014, private money lenders can lend money at 9 per cent per annum for secured agriculture loans and 12 percent per annum for loans without collateral security. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Free P2,000 GCash eGift UnionBank Credit Card Apply Now Undo Similarly, for non-agriculture loans, money lenders can charge interest at the rate of 15 percent per annum and 18 percent per annum in respective cases.

While praising the bank's strong financial health, Fadnavis also gave a sound advice in the context of co-op banks.
