If only interest is paid through bank and the principal remains outstanding, what will happen to the principal balance of the loan account?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: The principal will remain unchanged

The governing concept is the separation of principal and interest in a loan account. Interest is the periodic finance cost charged for using the loan, whereas principal is the amount originally borrowed and still payable. If the bank payment covers only the interest accrued for the relevant period, that payment is recorded against interest and does not reduce the liability for the borrowed amount. Therefore, the principal balance remains ₹P, or whatever amount was outstanding before the interest-only payment. It will decrease only when a payment or adjustment is specifically made towards principal. Option A would be correct only if principal were also repaid; C and D have no accounting basis.
