Valuation of Interest free/ concessional loan to employee- SBI Interest rate on 01.04.2019 for AY 2020-21
Interest free or concessional loans [Rule 3(7)(i)]: It is common practice, particularly in financial institutions, to provide interest free or concessional loans to employees or any member of his household. The value of perquisite arising from such loans would be the excess of interest payable at prescribed interest rate over interest, if any, actually paid by the employee or any member of his household.
The prescribed interest rate would now be the rate charged per annum by the State Bank of India as on the 1st day of the relevant financial year in respect of loans of same type and for the same purpose advanced by it to the general public.
Perquisite value would be calculated on the basis of the maximum outstanding monthly balance method. For valuing perquisites under this rule, any other method of calculation and adjustment otherwise adopted by the employer shall not be relevant. However, small loans up to Rs. 20,000/- in the aggregate are exempt.
Loans for medical treatment of diseases specified in Rule 3A are also exempt, provided the amount of loan for medical reimbursement is not reimbursed under any medical insurance scheme. Where any medical insurance reimbursement is received, the perquisite value at the prescribed rate shall be charged from the date of reimbursement on the amount reimbursed, but not repaid against the outstanding loan taken specifically for this purpose.

I have just heard from the economics report on Channel 5 that the recent poor jobs report has sent down the interest rates. What is your thoughts on this? Will a bad economy really be good news for the price of credits? I would be really glad if you could explain it for me because I am struggling with loan problems on a daily basis.
Can I also let you know that I believe everyone must be aware of the evil gangs of lenders that is a problem for people in many other places. It is like this because many poor individuals only got access to expensive credit. This is a really big problem in Thailand where rice farmers many times are in the hands of gray market loan sharks which many times end with a suicide. One solution could be to force the mainstream banks to give loan to these people with the backing of the state. Have anyone some ideas on this plan?
Thank you

what if nature of loan not known at the time of calculating the perquisite for interest free loan?
