> Declining balance with interest recalculation - need to support monthly option
> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

> Key: MIFOS-5182
> URL: http://mifosforge.jira.com/browse/MIFOS-5182
> Project: mifos
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Binny Gopinath Sreevas
> Priority: Critical
> Labels: community, fina2
> Fix For: Release H
>
> Attachments: SampleLoanCalculation_MonthlyReducing_V02.xlsx,
> SampleLoanCalculation_MonthlyReducing.xlsx

> Currently "declining balance with interest recalculation" does a daily
> interest recalculation. There is a need to have an option to do a "monthly
> interest calculation". Detailed requirement and example below:
> There are 2 loans (with monthly installments) which are handled as follows in
> real-life:
> Loan 1:
> February-2011 - Disbursed - 10,00,000 at 2% per month
> March-2011 - Interest paid - 20,000
> April-2011 - Interest paid - 20,000
> May-2011 - Loan repaid paid with interest - 10,20,000
> I schedule this as a loan product with interest type as "diminishing
> balance" and with 2 "principal-only grace" periods. This works fine in Mifos.
> Loan 2: Is similar, except that the customer does some prepayments.
> May-2011 - New Loan disbursed - 40,00,000 at 2% per month
> June-2011 - Interest paid - 80,000
> July-2011 - Interest paid - 80,000
> August-2011 - Interest paid - 80,000, Principal repaid 5,00,000
> (principal outstanding is now 35,00,000)
> September-2011 - Interest paid - 70,000, Principal repaid 10,00,000
> (principal outstanding is now 25,00,000)
> October-2011 - Interest paid - 50,000, Principal repaid 15,00,000
> (principal outstanding is now 10,00,000)
> Nov-2011 - Interest paid - 20,000
>
> I am not able to configure Loan-2 in Mifos. Ideally, the pre-payments should
> be adjusted to the principal. But mifos accounts prepayments against future
> interest, if I use interest type as "diminishing balance".
>
> If I use the interest type as "diminishing balance with interest
> recalculation", Mifos computes the interest based on daily-reducing balance.
> So the interest due for Feb, will be less than interest due for April. Which
> will not help implementing the above scenario. And with this type of
> interest, Grace periods are not supported. So it is impossible to implement
> such a loan in Mifos.
> My understanding of the solution in Mifos, will need 2 enhancements:
> a) Along with "daily declining balance with interest recalculation", we need
> a "monthly declining balance with interest recalculation"
> b) We need "Principal Only Grace periods" to be allowed for interest type
> "Declining balance with interest recalculation". Currently, Mifos does not
> allow this. There is already a ticket for this at: MIFOS-4742
