A-1. Calculation of purchase rate is as under:
Spot rate = Rs.45.00 (buying rate will be applied because it is purchase)
Less: 0.20% of margin = Rs.00.09 (from spot rate)
Purchase Rate = Rs.44.91
A-2. Calculation of re-purchase rate is as under:
Spot rate = Rs.45.00 (buying rate will be applied as it is purchase)
Less: 0.20% margin of spot rate = Rs.00.09
Rate = Rs.44.91
Add: premium = Rs.00.40 (premium will be added as that benefit will be of the customer)
Re-purchase Rate = Rs.45.31
A-3. Calculation of gross amount before interest and commission are applied is as under:
Spot rate = Rs.45.00 (buying rate will be applied as it is purchase)
Less: 0.20% margin of spot rate = Rs.00.09
Rate = Rs.44.91
Add: premium = Rs.00.40 (premium will be added as that benefit will be of the customer)
Rate to be applied = Rs.45.31
