Moratorium EMI Calculator

In light of the lockdown situation to contain the spread of COVID – 19 virus, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has recently declared a moratorium on term loans for all borrowers (individual and non-individual) for a period of 3 months from March 01 – May 31, 2020. On May 22, 2020; the RBI extended this facility for an additional 3 months, enabling borrowers to defer EMI payments until Aug 31, 2020.

We understand that the prevailing situation may be of concern to you as a borrower. However, please understand that while this facility allows you to defer your EMI payments, interest will continue getting accrued on the principal amount outstanding, thereby increasing your debt. Your overall interest payable throughout the loan tenure will increase, and you may have to pay extra EMIs, or a larger EMI amount, or both. To assess the impact of Moratorium on EMI payments, you can refer to the Moratorium EMI Calculator.

Thus, if you are not under financial stress and/or can manage your EMI payments by re-adjusting your monthly expenses, we recommend that you continue to pay your EMIs as per the original schedule. However, if you would like to still avail the moratorium facility to defer your EMI payments from June – Aug, 2020; you may do so by applying on our website one month at a time.

You can use our free online moratorium EMI Calculator below to accurately estimate how your EMI or loan tenure will change after the RBI moratorium is applied to your term loan.

If you opt for a moratorium, your next EMI date will get deferred automatically. Your next EMI payment will be after the moratorium period. However, interest for the moratorium period will get accrued on the principal amount outstanding, which means that your overall tenure will get extended or your EMI amount may change. Thus, if your loan was supposed to mature on Dec 01, 2020 and you now opt for a moratorium for 3 months, your loan maturity date will now be on or after Feb 01, 2021, depending on whether you choose to go for a revised EMI or loan tenure.

11. What is the difference between this RBI Moratorium and EMI Holiday?

Technically, the moratorium allows you to defer your EMI payments for a specified period and is applicable to all loan products. Also, the moratorium is a special facility which has been extended by the Reserve Bank of India to all Indian borrowers during this period to help the nation cope with their financials in the face of the COVID-19 threat and challenges due to the lockdown.

12. Is the moratorium like a waiver of my EMIs?

No. The moratorium is a special facility to defer EMI payments. However, you will still need to pay the revised EMI amount post the moratorium period. You can use the moratorium EMI calculator on this page for a better understanding.

13. Do I have to pay anything during the moratorium period?

No. If you submit a request to avail the RBI moratorium for a certain number of months (say, 1 month), which gets accepted, then your next EMI date and amount will be those many months away that is, 1 month from the deferred date. Thus, if your usual EMI payment was scheduled for the 30th of every month, and you choose to opt for the moratorium for June, 2020; your next EMI payment date will be automatically on Jul 30, 2020. You will not have to pay anything until then.

14. I have already availed the moratorium till May 31, 2020. Will it be automatically extended till Aug 31, 2020?

If you had already availed the moratorium facility till May 31, 2020 (which had been accepted), and wish to extend this further; you will still need to apply for the extension. Only upon approval of your request will the extension be granted. Please note that

If your application for moratorium extension is granted, your EMI amount and/or tenure will change again and you will be provided with a revised schedule for the same.
You will need to apply separately for each month during which you would like to avail the facility within the cut off period. For instance, if you would like to avail the facility to defer your EMI payment scheduled between June 01-30 2020; you will need to apply for the same on our website between May 29 – 31, 2020.
Cut off period for each month until Aug 31, 2020 will be communicated to you at your registered email address / phone number via email and SMS respectively, and will typically be between the last 2-3 days of the previous month. If you wish to avail the moratorium facility, you will need to submit a request within 48 hours of receiving the SMS.
Extension of the moratorium will NOT be automatically provided even if you had availed the facility until May 31, 2020 and it had been approved.

15. Should I opt for the moratorium?

The moratorium is one of the tools extended to customers to help you tide over the challenges posed by the nationwide lockdown and the threat of the novel coronavirus. Here are a few things you may consider before you make your decision:

Your Net Monthly Income – if this amount is going to be impacted as a result of the current situation, opting for the moratorium could relieve you of some of the financial stress
Your monthly expenses – Have a good look at your budget for the next few months. Try to check if you can do away with some of the expenses which could help you repay your monthly obligations even in the face of a reduced monthly income.

On the other hand, if your net monthly income is not going to reduce to the extent of causing financial distress, it may be wiser to continue paying your EMIs as per the schedule to avoid interest charges.

We advise you to use the moratorium EMI calculator on this page to assess the impact of availing the moratorium on your EMI schedule.
