The debtors are gainers during inflation, while the creditors are losers. The reason this happens is because, during inflation, the value of money reduces greatly. The implications of which are that a rupee in the month of August is worth much less than what it was worth back in March.

This means that a person can buy fewer goods per rupee in the month of august, than what he could in the month of March. In terms of the debtor, he is essentially paying back a smaller amount (in real terms) even though the amount he owed to the creditor remained the same.

As far as the creditor is concerned, the value of the money that he receives from his debtors is worth much less than what it was when he lent it to them. (Implying that his purchasing power will be reduced when they repay him)
