Debtors await clarity as moratorium ends
Live MintBorrowers stare at an uncertain future as banks and non-banking financial companies are yet to come up with policies on restructuring of loans. Mumbai-based Tarun Shetty, 35, for instance, has three personal loans from HDFC Bank, Kotak Mahindra Bank and Clix Capital. Among lenders and card issuers Mint spoke to, only Federal Bank and SBI Cards and Payment Services Ltd have started offering restructuring plans. Those who are facing cash flow problems due to job losses or pay cuts can approach the bank with relieving letter or bank statement and get the loan recast,” said Babu K.A., senior vice-president and head–loan collection and recovery, Federal Bank. According to rating agency India Ratings and Research, around 7.7% of the total bank credit at end-March from corporate and non-corporate segments could get restructured, based on the Reserve Bank of India’s resolution framework.
