Prevailing bank rate vis a vis companies act 2013

At what rate shall we book interest for the year ended 31st March 2015 on unsecured loans? Can it be booked @ 9% p.a. keeping in mind that it cannot be less than prevailing bank rate as per the new companies act 2013.

Rate of interest will depend upon the terms agreed at the time of taking loan.  CA 1956 provided for bank rate in respect of  loans to body corporates.  However, CA 2013 does not refer to Bank rate.  Sec.186(7) reads as under:

 

"No loan shall be given under this section at a rate of interest lower than the prevailing yield of one year, three year, five year or ten year Government security closest to the tenor of the loan."
