According to PTPTN, deferment of the loan repayment due to the flood disaster will be given for a period of 3 months from:
- the month the application is approved, and
- 2 months ahead between December 2021 to May 2022
The organization will notify the applicant of the deferment approval via email within 3 working days from the date the borrower applies. Therefore, borrowers should provide accurate and up-to-date contact information to ensure that the approval of the application can be communicated to them.
