If a person fails to repay a debt as required under the PPLAct, the person may be required to pay interest, at the penalty interest rate, on the outstanding amount of the debt, from time to time.
The PPLAct allows for the PPL Rules to prescribe a lesser rate of penalty interest than the rate prescribed in the PPLAct.
The PPL Rules prescribe a penalty interest rate of 3% per year.
