How is Microfinance Interest Rate Calculated?

At Tata Capital, the Microfinance Loan interest rate represents the cost of borrowing and is expressed as a percentage of the sanctioned loan amount on an annual basis.

Rate Determination: The final interest rate is assessed based on factors such as the loan amount, tenure, and the borrower’s repayment profile under Tata Capital’s microfinance lending framework.
Applicable Charges: In addition to interest, certain charges such as processing fees or borrower protection insurance may apply as per the product terms.
Disclosure at Approval: The applicable interest rate and any related charges are communicated to the borrower at the time of loan sanction.

Understanding how the interest rate is structured helps borrowers estimate their repayment obligations before accepting the loan terms.
