Very high interest rate!

Manhal Shotar

Extremely high rate, in some countries this would be illegal (considered usury extended by loan sharks). It makes the real cost of finance in India for small businesses v. high (nominal interest rate minus inflation)

David Homola

I agree with previous comments, such extreme loans conditions are not common in most countries and may even be illegal, most types of economic activities (moreover for micro activities) cannot be expected to definitely earn such high returns

Emmanuel V Murray

Thanks for your responses David Homola Manhal Shotar Jan H Jansen
