Compensation claim intrest

(Querist) 27 February 2016 This query is : Resolved 
Greeting to teaM,

Is there uniform standard Critera in India set up by MACT Tribunal for deciding percentage of interest in compensation amount arising out of motor Accident. And does Intrest is compounded or not?Or there is no such standard fo deciding this.
Santosh Goswami,Advocate (Expert) 28 February 2016
There is no fixed rules for that though there are certain guidelines to grant compensation. As far as interest is concerned it could be 8 percent, 12 or even 18 simple or compound depending upon the case. Lots of things are taken into consideration. But compound interest is rare.
