Resolution Framework 2.0

In order to provide economic relief to borrowers who have been financially impacted due to the 2nd wave of the COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting lockdowns, the Reserve Bank of India announced the resolution framework 2.0 to provide relief to distressed borrowers.

This scheme is different from the loan moratorium facility which was provided last year between Mar – Aug, 2020. Scroll down to know more.

We have taken cognizance of the RBI circular on Resolution of Covid-19 impacted loans and have formalized a Board approved Policy as advised by RBI. For detailed policy please click here.

How to use the Resolution Framework 2.0 Calculator?

  • Select your loan type from the dropdown
  • Select “Yes” if your loan had been restructured/resolved before Mar 31, 2021. Else select “No”
  • Enter, in months, your loan tenure as per the original loan agreement you had signed before all restructuring schemes / moratorium facility were applied.
  • Enter your loan tenure in months as per the current loan agreement / schedule. If you had not availed moratorium facility between Mar – Aug, 2020 and your loan hadn’t been restructured/resolved, then this value will be the same as the original loan tenure.
  • Next, enter the date of the latest EMI you paid for this loan.
  • Enter your principal outstanding as of today, interest rate, no. of EMIs remaining to be paid, and your current monthly EMI amount. To know these values, please refer to your current loan schedule.
  • Select if you would prefer a reduced monthly EMI or a moratorium period as a part of Resolution Framework 2.0
  • Enter the values
    • If you have selected “EMI reduction”, enter the monthly EMI you can pay.
    • If you have selected “Moratorium”, please select the number of months.
  • You will be able to see the number of EMIs you will now have to pay if your loan gets restructured as per the conditions in step #8, along with the increase in the interest payable. Please note that the increase in interest payable indicates the extra interest amount you have to pay from now till the end of your loan tenure as a result of Resolution Framework 2.0 vis-a-via the current loan schedule.

As per RBI regulations, overall tenure extension as a result of Resolution Framework 2.0 and Resolution Framework 1.0 cannot be for more than 24 months. Thus, if the tenure is getting extended for more than 24 months, you will have to pay a higher EMI amount or select a lower moratorium period. Please change the values entered in step #8 to continue. For MSME customers, if your loan account has already been resolved under Resolution framework 1.0, it may not be possible to resolve again. In such cases, please contact us or visit your nearest SMFG India Credit branch for more details.

Please note that this calculator is not valid in cases where:

  • Accounts not eligible for Resolution framework 2.0 – please scroll down to know more.
  • Penalty charges / other extra charges are applicable
  • In case of any change in interest rates during the loan tenure.

The aim of this calculator is to give you an approximate idea of how opting for loan restructuring may affect your loan. Values are indicative, and may not take into account other charges such as insurance, any bounce / penalty charges, loan restructuring fees, etc.

FAQs

What is the loan restructuring 2.0 by RBI? What is the purpose of this resolution framework?

The unexpected second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted certain segments of borrowers across the country. To provide relied to such borrowers, the RBI had announced a second loan restructuring scheme under its Resolution Framework 2.0 in May, 2021.

Based on this framework and its regulatory guidelines, SMFG India Credit has framed a policy for Resolution Framework 2.0 which may be availed by customers impacted by the second wave of the pandemic.

I had opted for the OTR scheme in 2020. Can I apply for loan restructuring again?

MSMEs whose loans had been restructured previously will not be eligible for Resolution Framework 2.0. However, accounts of individuals and small businesses (not MSMEs) who satisfy all other eligibility criteria can apply for Resolution Framework 2.0 even if their loans had been restructured as a part of the OTR scheme last year.

Please note that the tenure extension as a result of the OTR scheme in 2020 as well as Restructuring under Resolution Framework 2.0 cannot exceed 2 years. To understand this better, please use our loan restructuring calculator above.

Should I opt for loan restructuring?

If you can pay off your monthly EMIs by finding new sources of income or by managing your expenses, we would strongly advise you to do so, and not opt for the scheme needlessly.

This is because loan restructuring has the following effects:

  • Increase in overall interest payable, thereby making your loan more expensive
  • Increase in the overall loan tenure

How will the loan restructuring scheme affect my loan?

If your Resolution Framework 2.0 request gets accepted, one or more of the following may happen:

  • Your monthly EMI amount may be reduced and tenor will be increased to accommodate the EMI reduction, thereby reducing monthly repayment commitment.
  • You may be provided a moratorium facility for a few months

Thus,

  • Your overall tenure will increase, during which the remainder of your loan can be paid off. However, please note that the extension of the residual tenor of the loan, with or without payment moratorium, cannot extend 2 years. This includes the extension obtained through previous restructuring (as applicable).
  • Your total interest payable over the tenure of the loan will increase.

Will my loan be restructured automatically if I don’t pay my EMIs?

No. If you don’t apply for this scheme, or if your application gets rejected, you will be expected to pay your EMIs as per the current schedule. Any delay or failure to do so will be considered as a delay/ default and attract penalty/ bounce charges.

At the moment my income has not been impacted, but it may happen in the future. Can I apply for loan restructuring?

You can apply for loan restructuring. However, we will assess your application based on the criteria mentioned above as well as other factors such as credit worthiness etc. and then let you know if your loan restructuring request meets the requirement of SMFG India Credit’s Policy.

I am self-employed / am an MSME entity having my small enterprise. Am I eligible for loan restructuring?

Self-employed individuals/entities falling under the MSME category as per the revised MSME classification announced by Government of India, can apply for the loan restructuring scheme if the total exposure, including non-fund based facilities, of banks and NBFCs does not exceed Rs. 50 crore as on March 31, 2021 AND Had not restructured their loans previously. Additionally, MSMEs will also need to satisfy the other eligibility criteria for Resolution Framework 2.0

How can I get a loan moratorium? Does the RBI’s new scheme provide loan moratorium 3.0?

Please note that Resolution Framework 2.0 is not the same as the moratorium facility that was provided by the RBI between Mar – Aug, 2020. Under the current scheme, accounts of eligible borrowers (depending on successful evaluation of their documents, other regulatory conditions and SMFG India Credit’s policy) may be restructured. As a part of the scheme, a few such borrowers may be provided a loan moratorium. However, this will depend on SMFG India Credit’s assessment of the applicant’s current loan terms, eligibility, income, etc.

Thus, you may apply for the Resolution Framework 2.0 scheme if your income has been impacted due to the 2nd wave of the pandemic. As per the regulatory guidelines, SMFG India Credit will evaluate the same and can accept or reject the application within 30 days of receiving your request. Until then, borrowers are expected to continue paying their EMIs as per current schedule.

Next, if your request gets accepted, SMFG India Credit will assess how your loan may be restructured and implement the same within 90 days from date of Invocation. As per the new terms, you may receive a moratorium facility, or your EMI may be reduced.

My loan was taken along with a co-borrower/s. Will all the co-borrowers of the original Loan agreement be required to sign the revised restructuring agreement?

As per regulatory and legal requirements, all borrowers/co-borrowers of the original loan need to agree and sign on any changes in the loan structure including the restructuring agreement.

What is the last date to apply for the loan restructuring scheme?

The last date for invocation of Resolution Framework 2.0 is September 30, 2021. Thus, you are advised to submit your applications well in advance.

Will there be any processing fees or charges if I restructure my loan?

SMFG India Credit may levy a fee if you choose to get your loan restructured.

If I apply for loan restructuring, will I still have to pay any monthly EMI?

Even if you submit loan restructuring application, until the same gets accepted, you are expected to pay your monthly EMIs as per the current schedule. Once your loan restructuring request is accepted, you can then follow the revised schedule. Please note that the EMIs as per current repayment schedule should be paid on time as accounts will continue to be classified as Standard till the date of invocation of resolution under this framework.

Please note that if your loan restructuring request is rejected, you will still be expected to pay your EMIs as per the existing schedule. Any delay / default will attract additional interest and will impact your credit score.

What will happen if I pay my EMIs now and don’t opt for restructuring? Can I take this facility later?

If you can pay your EMIs now, SMFG India Credit  welcomes you to do so. However, if you are facing financial stress due to the pandemic, and would like to avail relief under this scheme, you may apply for this scheme. Please remember that the last date for invocation is Sep 30, 2021 – so please ensure that you submit your application well in advance. Also, your application will be accepted only if it meets the norms mentioned above and your application as well as supporting document should clear all verification checks.
