How to check outstanding Principal and Interest amount of active Loans in loan file
Please refer to column "Y" for outstanding principal amount and column "Z" for outstanding interest amount as on today.
When a customer asks about the outstanding amount, the agent must add both columns Y and Z and share the current outstanding amount.
Since the attached file is updated monthly, it is possible that if a customer has made a recent loan payment, it will not be reflected in the file. In that scenario, the agent must update the clear case summary and may raise H2H after consulting with support staff.
Further, where there is new loan disbursed in the current month, it will be added to the tracker on month end and hence outstanding balances of new loan issued in the current month will not be available in the tracker till the end of that month.
