Interest rates on what?
There are certain products where RBI decides the interest rates and there are certain categories where banks have the freedom to decide the interest rates.

Interest are regulated by RBI.Banks work on spread of lending rate RBI fixes as rate of lending to banks.
If the working of any bank is found offensive to the interest of public at large or detrimental to the interest of banking industry itself,RBI is empowered to issue even particular directions to the one concerned bank.

Rates of interest for loans are decided by individual banks and not by RBI. If the borrower felt the rate charged by one bank is more/excessive, he can switch over to another bank having lesser rates. If the bank had charged interests than the agreed rates, Courts are empowered to fix the rate of interest as per 'Ravindras case' decided by Supreme Court.

Rates of interest for loans are decided by individual banks and not by RBI. If the borrower felt the rate charged by one bank is more/excessive, he can switch over to another bank having lesser rates. If the bank had charged interest higher than the agreed rates (as per the loan documents executed), Courts are empowered to order refund.
