Factor in the cost of loan restructuring
It is very important to understand that taking a moratorium and restructuring plan does not mean that you are exempted from debt repayment. In both these options, interest will be charged even during the EMI deferment.
SBI has said that if the borrowers choose loan moratorium or restructuring, they will have to pay an additional interest of 0.35 per cent over the current pricing for the remaining period of the loan. This is to compensate for the partial cost of additional provisions made by the bank. This additional interest will increase the total estimated interest payment on the customer.
Therefore, it is important for the borrowers to calculate how the restructuring plan will affect their loan burden. If choosing loan restructuring, the customer should have a bounce-back plan to repay additional interest as soon as possible.
