Loan Restructuring

← VIEW ALL GLOSSARY TERMS

DEFINITION

Loan restructuring allows lenders to modify existing loan terms when borrowers face temporary financial hardship. Options include: extending tenure (lower EMI), reducing interest rate, providing a moratorium (payment holiday), converting interest to a term loan, or adjusting repayment schedules.

RBI has allowed restructuring schemes during economic disruptions (like COVID-19). Restructured loans may be flagged on credit reports but are treated more favorably than defaults or NPAs. Borrowers should approach lenders proactively at the first sign of difficulty rather than missing payments.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Restructured loans may be flagged on credit reports, which can impact future borrowing. However, it's much less damaging than an NPA classification or default.
Who is eligible for loan restructuring?
Borrowers facing genuine financial hardship — job loss, medical emergency, business downturn. The loan should not already be classified as NPA. Approach the lender proactively.

Tenure extension, EMI reduction, moratorium (payment holiday), interest rate reduction, or converting outstanding interest into a separate term loan.
