Term loan is a monetary loan given to individuals or businesses
which is repaid in installments, at equal duration, over a set period of time. A fixed interest rate is charged over the remaining balance of the loan and is generally compounded annually. Term Loans are generally granted to finance capital expenditure, i.e. for acquisition of land, building and plant and machinery, required for setting up a new industrial undertaking or expansion/diversification of an existing one and also for acquisition of movable fixed assets. Term Loans are also given for modernization, renovation, etc. to improve the product quality or increase the productivity and profitability.
