Q60: Regarding the "Key Fact Statement" (KFS) under the RBI Digital Lending Guidelines, which of the following pairs of components and their treatment is INCORRECTLY matched?

A
Penal Charges — Must be disclosed in KFS and cannot be capitalized (no interest on penal charges).
B
Annual Percentage Rate (APR) — Must include all interest and processing fees but exclude third-party insurance charges.
C
Cooling-off Period — Minimum 3 days for loans with a tenor of 7 days or more.
D
Recovery Mechanism — Details of the nodal grievance officer and designated recovery agent must be provided.
✅ Correct Answer: B
🎯 Quick Answer:
Option B is the incorrect match, making it the correct answer.
Concept Definition: The APR is the effective annualized cost of credit to the borrower.
Regulatory Correction: Under the Digital Lending Guidelines, the APR MUST be "all-inclusive." It typically includes the cost of any third-party products, such as insurance, if they are mandatory or bundled as part of the credit facilitation.
Excluding them would violate the transparency norms intended to show the "Total Cost of Credit." Other Options: Penal Charges: This is matched correctly.
They must be absolute figures and cannot be capitalized.
Cooling-off: This is matched correctly.
The period is 3 days for long-term loans of 7 days or more, and 1 day for short-term loans.
