What is the moratorium extension?

If your income is still not back to normal and you are not ready to start repaying your loans, there are several options available to help you manage your debts. The prime minister had announced in July last year that there will be targeted Loan Repayment Assistant for those financially affected by Covid-19. The new round of MCO in 2021 has also provided moratorium extensions for those affected under the Pemerkasa Plus aid package.

It’s important to note that this extension is not automatic like the previous moratorium. Borrowers who want to extend their Loan Repayment Assistant amounts must apply directly to the bank.

If you can afford the monthly repayment now, it’s better to start paying again as the longer you delay means the loan period would be extended even more in future. As for home loans, the longer you delay paying down the loan while adding on the unpaid monthly interest charges will mean paying more in borrowing cost in future.
