Provisions will be made to restructure and reschedule the loans by charging a minimum of 10 percent interest on the loans issued to enterprises and businesses displaced due to Mahendra Highway and Mid-Hill Highway expansion. The central bank has maintained the existing provisions related to interest rate corridor, bank rate, mandatory cash reserve and statutory liquidity ratio. <\/p>\n
