The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) had last week advised all the lending institutions to offer a three-month moratorium on repayment of loans due to the outbreak of coronavirus.
Several reports have stated that despite the central bank's guidelines, borrowers were receiving messages reminding them that their EMI is due. To clear the air, many public sector banks have now announced the moratorium through Twitter.
State Bank of India
The country's largest lender SBI stated that it has initiated steps to defer the instalments and interests/EMIs on term loans with due dates between 1 March to 5 May and extended the repayment period by 3 months. The SBI said the interest on working capital facilities for the same period is also deferred to 30 June.
