Legal basis: the Supreme People's Court's opinions on people's courts' handling of loan cases.
Six, the interest rate of private lending can be appropriately higher than the bank interest rate, the local people's courts can specifically grasp according to the actual situation in the region, but the maximum shall not exceed four times that of similar bank loans (including interest rates). Beyond this limit, the excess interest will not be protected.
Seven, the lender shall not include interest in the principal to seek high profits. If it is found during the trial that the creditor included the interest in the principal to calculate compound interest, if the interest rate exceeds the limit stipulated in Article 6, the excess interest will not be protected.
