Interest is the cost of renting money, for the borrower and it is the income from lending money to the lender.

Features of interest are:

  1. Interest is the price paid for the productive services rendered by capital.
  2. It is directly related to risk. The higher the risk, the higher the interest.
  3. The rate of Interest is expressed as an annual percentage of the Principal.
  4. The rate of interest is determined by various factors like money supply, fiscal policy, the volume of borrowings, the rate of inflation, etc.
  5. Interest is a charge against the profit of the company. Even if the company makes no profit, interest should be paid.
  6. It is payable at a fixed and generally pre-determined rate.

The company has to pay interest if it has borrowed money from creditors like Debentures holders, Depositors, Bondholders, etc. Thus, interest is a liability/obligation of the company.
