Can the deferred sale price be higher than the cash price?

Sources researched September 13, 2026

Educational answer

Under IIFA’s installment-sale resolution, yes: a deferred sale may have a higher agreed price than a cash sale. The parties must settle the price and payment method when concluding the sale. This does not permit adding a separate interest charge to an existing debt merely because payment is delayed.
