Formula Used

The interest rate calculation for Kisan Credit Card loans uses the standard loan amortization formula:

Monthly Payment = P × (r(1 + r)^n) / ((1 + r)^n - 1)

Where:

P = Loan amount
r = Monthly interest rate (annual rate ÷ 12 ÷ 100)
n = Number of payments (loan term in months)

Total interest paid is calculated by multiplying the monthly payment by the number of payments and subtracting the original loan amount.

Worked Example

Let's calculate the interest for a ₹50,000 loan at 10% annual interest over 24 months:

Monthly interest rate = 10% ÷ 12 = 0.833%
Monthly payment = ₹50,000 × (0.00833(1 + 0.00833)^24) / ((1 + 0.00833)^24 - 1) ≈ ₹2,234.50
Total paid = ₹2,234.50 × 24 = ₹53,628.00
Total interest = ₹53,628.00 - ₹50,000 = ₹3,628.00

This example shows that over 2 years, you would pay ₹3,628.00 in interest on a ₹50,000 loan at 10% annual interest.
