Interest rates are the price paid for borrowing money and are usually expressed as an annual percentage rate. They are influenced by factors like economic growth, inflation, and central bank policy rates. In India, interest rates on loans, deposits, and savings accounts vary between banks but are generally within certain ranges. Interest can be simple or compound, while nominal rates do not account for inflation unlike real interest rates. Central bank rates like repo rate, reverse repo rate, bank rate, CRR and SLR also impact commercial bank lending rates.

3. What is Interest Rate
• In simple meaning interest is a payment made by a borrower
to the lender for the money borrowed and is expressed as a
rate percent per year.
• It is usually expressed as an annual rate in terms of money and is calculated
on the principal of the loan. It is the price paid for the use of other’s capital
fund for a certain period of time.
• As Prof. Marshall has said – “The payment made by borrower for the use
of a loan is called Interest.”

4. Why Interest is Paid or Charged
There are two views regarding Interest paid or is charged:
(I) From Debtor’s point of view,
(ii) From Creditor’s point of view.

5. From Debtor’s point of view
• Debtor’s pay interest on capital because he is aware that capital has
productivity and if it can be used in production there can be increase in
income. Therefore, out of the earned income, a part of the income is paid to
the creditor or a lender from whom money has been taken as loan is known
as Interest.
• Use of Capital
• Reward for Risk
• Interest is Reward for Inconvenience
• Expenses in Relation to Management of Business

6. From Creditor’s Point ofView
Creditors or lender of money demands Interest because he has taken pains
in saving money, has suffered inconveniences in postponing his needs and
has taken risk of bad debts. If he will not get Interest or some advantage of
Interest he may loose interest in saving money or he may not be ready to
bear inconveniences. Then, the formation of capital in the market will stop.
Therefore, it can be said that the debtor’s give Interest to creditors as
capital has productivity and creditors demand interest as the lender of
money has taken risk and has faced inconveniences, so he must get some
reward for the pains of inconvenience and risk.

• BANK RATE
• REPO RATE
• REVERSE REPO RATE

• CRR

9. BANK RATE
• The rate at which commercial bank borrowing from RBI for a long term
period (more than 90 days)
• Rate decided by RBI.
• Current bank rate is 6.75%

10. REPO RATE REVERSE REPO RATE
• The rate at which commercial
banks borrow money from RBI
and it is short term loan (max 90
days).
• Current REPO RATE is 6.5%
• REVERSE REPO rate is the short
term borrowing rate at which RBI

• Current reverse repo rate is 6.25%.

11. SLR
• SLR stands for statutory liquidity ratio. This is a percentage of the amount of
deposit that a bank receives that it compulsorily has to set aside as a reserve.
• This reserve can be in the form of government securities, treasury bills or cash.

14. SIMPLE INTEREST
• Interest is the amount paid on the principal amount.
• Interest computed only on principal amount.
• A=P+SI
• SI=PTR/100
where A=Amount, P=Principal, T=Time, R=Rate of interest.
• Example: P=1000 , T=3years, R=10%
• SI=(1000*3*10)/100 = Rs:300/-
• A=1000+200 = Rs:1300/-

15. COMPOUND INTEREST
• COMPOUND INTEREST IS addition of interest to the principal some of a
loan or deposit. In other words interest on interest.
• Interest computed on principal amount plus interest earned.
• CI= P(1+r)^t
• Example: P=1000 , T=3years, R=10%
• CI = 1000(1+.10)^ =Rs:1331/-

16. Nominal vs. Real Interest Rates
• Nominal Interest Rates: the percentage increase in money that the borrower pats
including inflation.
• Nominal Interest Rate is one where the effects of inflation have not been accounted
for.
• Nominal Interest Rates=Real Interest Rates+ expected inflation.
• Real Interest Rates: The percentage increase in purchasing power that a borrower
pays.
• Real Interest Rate is one where the effects of inflation have been factored in.
• Real Interest Rates= Nominal Interest Rates- expected inflation

17. • Suppose your fixed deposit of Rs. 100 earns 10% interest at the end of the year.
This means the Rs. 100 at beginning of the year will become Rs. 110 at the end
of the year. This 10% is the nominal interest rate, as we have not accounted for
inflation.
• Assume that inflation rate is 6%
for the year and your fixed
deposit earns 10% nominal
interest rate. After factoring
in inflation, your deposit
will earn a real interest rate of 4%.

18. Factors influencing Interest Rate
• Economic growth rate vs. underlying trend rate.
• Spare capacity
• Wage inflation
• Unemployment
• Commodity prices.
• Exchange Rate.
• House prices
• Consumer confidence

19. CONCLUSION
• The Term Structure of Interest Rates shows the relation between
interest rates for different term-to-maturity loans.
• If Inflation is positive then the real interest rate is lower than the
nominal interest rate.
• If we have deflation and inflation rate is negative ,then the real
interest rate will be larger.
