New Delhi: The Supreme Court has rejected a petition seeking an extension of the moratorium period on bank loan repayments as part of the Covid lockdown. The apex court also ruled that full interest relief could not be granted during the moratorium period.
The court ruled that the imposition of penalty interest on bank loans was unacceptable and that the banks would have to repay the money if they had done so.
The court ruled that it was not appropriate for the court to interfere in the government’s economic and policy decisions.
