Behave like a defaulter
On behalf of the petitioners, Senior Advocate Rajiv Dutta stated in the Supreme Court that banks are engaged in treating their customers like defaulters by imposing interest on EMIs. While the exemption of not giving loan was given by RBI. In such a difficult time, banks are charging interest on the interest of giving relief to their customer. Which is completely wrong. On the other hand, Advocate Aryama Sundaram, on behalf of CREAI, said in the court that it is true that the NPA will increase, but at least give interest while giving relief to its customers.
Interest on interest
At the Supreme Court, Senior Advocate Kapil Sibal said that the interest on the last 6 months EMI should be completely waived, only then the common people will get relief. In addition, Senior Advocate KV Vishwanathan, on behalf of CREDAI, said in the court that due to corona virus such situations have arisen. The Supreme Court should order the RBI to work under the Disaster Management Act.

Banks gave moratorium of 6 months
In the era of Corona virus, when crores lost their jobs and salary was halved, the Reserve Bank showed softness in recovering EMI to provide relief. The Reserve Bank had asked banks to give loan moratorium, the duration of which has expired on August 31. During this time banks were also allowed to collect interest at the normal rate from customers. Now this facility may be extended for 2 years directly.
