The central bank on Wednesday extended again the policy relaxation involving loan repayments to the country’s scheduled banks by their borrowers. The borrowers would get three more months’ time to repay their due loan instalments on the basis of banker-customer relationship because of the resurgence of the Covid-19. Since January last year banks have stopped classifying loans in the event of failure to repay of loan instalments under instructions from the Bangladesh Bank (BB). Borrowers will be able to clear their instalments on continuous, demand and term loans by June 30 instead of March 2021 on the basis of banker-customer relationship. Such loans would not be considered as classified, if the borrowers would repay their instalments within June 30, 2021 instead of March this year. The BB’s latest move came against the backdrop of the fresh surge in Covid-19 infections in different countries, including Bangladesh.Under the policy of relaxation, unpaid interest for 2020 on continuous loans would have to be cleared in six quarterly instalments from March 2021 to June 2022. Such continuous loans would not be considered as classified until June 2022, if the borrowers would clear unpaid interest on the loans with quarterly instalments. On the other hand, the borrowers were allowed to repay their demand loans covering both interest and principal amount within eight quarterly instalments from March 2021 to December 2022. Under the relaxation, the borrowers might choose one of the two options: a maximum of two years in the repayment period or 50 per cent extension of the remaining payback time, whichever was higher. The central bank had offered a deferral loan classification facility from January 2020 to December 2020, considering the adverse impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on people and businesses.
