# §203.260. Amount of mortgage insurance premium (periodic MIP).


The mortgagee shall pay to the Commissioner an initial MIP in an amount equal to one-half of one percent of the average outstanding principal obligation of the mortgage for the first year of amortization. After payment of the initial MIP, the mortgagee shall pay to the Commissioner an amount equal to one-half of one percent of the average outstanding principal obligation of the mortgage for the 12-month period preceding each subsequent anniversary date of the beginning of amortization.


# §203.261. Calculation of periodic MIP.


The amount of any periodic MIP shall be calculated in accordance with the original amortization provisions of the mortgage, without taking into account delinquent payments, prepayments, agreements to postpone payments, or agreements to recast the mortgage.


# §203.262. Due date of periodic MIP.


The full initial and each annual MIP shall be due and payable to the Commissioner no later than the 10th day after the amortization anniversary date.


# §203.264. Payment of periodic MIP.


The mortgagee shall pay each MIP in twelve equal monthly installments. Each monthly installment shall be due and payable to the Commissioner no later than the tenth day of each month, beginning in the month in which the mortgagor is required to make the first monthly mortgage payment. This will be effective for amortization beginning on or after September 1, 1996.


# §203.265. Mortgagee's late charge and interest.

- (a) Periodic MIP which are received by the Commissioner after the payment dates prescribed by §§ [203.262](/cfr/24/203.262.md) and [203.264](/cfr/24/203.264.md) shall include a late charge of four percent of the amount paid.
- (b) In addition to the late charge provided in [paragraph (a)](#a) of this section, the mortgagee shall pay interest on any periodic MIP which are remitted to the Commissioner more than 20 days after the payment dates prescribed in [§ 203.264](/cfr/24/203.264.md). Such interest rate shall be paid at a rate set in conformity with the Treasury Financial Manual.

# §203.266. Period covered by periodic MIP.


The initial MIP shall cover the period beginning with the date of the issuance of a Mortgage Insurance Certificate and ending on the next anniversary of the beginning of amortization. Subsequent premium payments shall cover the twelve-month period preceding each subsequent anniversary date.


# §203.267. Duration of periodic MIP.


The mortgagee shall pay the MIP to the Commissioner until the deed to the Commissioner is filed for record or the contract of insurance is terminated.


# §203.268. Pro rata payment of periodic MIP.

- (a) If the insurance contract is terminated before the due date of the initial MIP, the mortgagee shall pay a portion of the MIP prorated from the beginning of amortization, as defined in [§ 203.251](/cfr/24/203.251.md), to the date of termination.
- (b) If the insurance contract is terminated after the due date of the initial MIP, the mortgagee shall pay a portion of the current annual MIP prorated from the due date of the last annual MIP to the date of termination.
- (c) A pro rata MIP shall not be due or payable where the mortgagee notifies the Commissioner that foreclosure or other action to acquire the property has been completed and that the property will not be conveyed to the Commissioner in exchange for insurance benefits. Any MIP due and paid after the institution of foreclosure or the date the property was otherwise acquired by the mortgagee will be refunded to the mortgagee upon receipt by the Commissioner of the notice from the mortgagee that the property will not be conveyed to the Commissioner.
