Hi Nayan,

I agree that the way Mifos calculates the repayment accounting is correct but some MFIs may want to change the default order of payments.

So that, I created that improvement issue and we can decide in the future (based on clients requests) if we implement this functionality or not.

Best regards,
Lukasz

Hi Thomas and Lukasz,

I believe the way Mifos calculates the repayment accounting is correct.

Refer

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amortization_schedule
"A portion of each payment is for interest while the remaining amount is applied towards the principal balance" even though it does not explicitly say the order!

The reason is Fees, Penalties and Interest will not used to *recalculate *the next interest amount, it makes very much sense to deduct these thing before reduce the Principle installment.

And as per my understanding order of the deduction plays role only when interest is recalculate based on outstanding Principle amount otherwise order does not have any role.

Thanks
