Term Loan : RBI on March 27, 2020 has permitted Banks to grant moratorium of 3 months on payment of all installments including interest falling due between March 1, 2020 and May 31, 2020. Subsequently, on May 23, 2020, RBI extended the moratorium scheme by another 3 months till August 31,2020. Accordingly, the residual tenor of repayment schedule of principal amount will be extended by another 3 months for term loan. However, interest shall continue to accrue and payable at the end of moratorium period.

Working Capital : RBI on March 27, 2020 has permitted Banks to grant deferment in recovery of interest applied in respect of working capital facilities sanctioned in the form of cash credit/overdraft (CC/OD) during March 1, 2020 and May 31, 2020. Subsequently on May 23, 2020, RBI has allowed deferment by another three months, from June 1, 2020 to August 31, 2020 in respect of all such facilities outstanding as on March 01, 2020.

Term Loan: Moratorium of another 3 months on payment of all installments falling due between June 1, 2020 and August 31, 2020 will be offered and interest / installments demand will not be raised to the loan account of the borrower. During the said moratorium period, interest shall continue to accrue on the outstanding portion of the term loan and payable immediately at the end of moratorium period. Alternatively, such deferred accumulated interest on term loan over the moratorium period can be converted to Funded Interest Term Loan (FITL) which shall be repayable not later than March 31,2021. Such FITL would carry same interest rate as original loan and the interest on FITL will be collected monthly.

Alternatively, such deferred accumulated interest on working capital can be converted to Funded Interest Term Loan (FITL) . Rate of interest on the FITL would carry same interest rate as original loan and the interest on FITL will be collected monthly.

Since relief is extended for periods between March 1, 2020 and August 31, 2020, the amount overdue before March 1, 2020 in any of the loan account will have to be paid before September 30, 2020 in order to avoid penal charges, down gradation of account and slippage to NPA.
