How has the COVID Second Wave Impacted Personal Loan Industry

How has the COVID Second Wave Impacted Personal Loan Industry

Yes, the global pandemic’s second wave was a “nightmare come true”. But as they say, every cloud has a silver lining, and in India, it’s the favourable impact of Covid second wave on personal loans.

The ongoing pandemic has led to massive positive changes within the finance industry. And the biggest ripple is being seen in the personal financing sector. Personal loans grew up by 28% in 2020 compared with 33.5% in the same period in 2019. Wondering why? Read on.

RBI’s restructuring scheme

Recently, RBI announced its Covid-19 restructuring scheme 2.0 to help borrowers recuperate from the pandemic’s aftermath. The apex bank had rolled out the scheme in 2020 and reintroduced it for 2021 because of the second wave. In a nutshell, this is a one-time restructuring option, where borrowers with outstanding debt of up to Rs. 50 crores can rearrange their repayment terms.

Thanks to this scheme, lenders are providing tenure extensions of up to two years, which is extremely helpful. Some financial institutions have also reduced the interest rate to lower the personal loan EMI amount for the borrowers. By taking away some of the financial pressure, the scheme has enabled various Covid-affected individuals, MSME owners, and retail borrowers to repay their debts conveniently.

Moreover, borrowers can also apply for a loan moratorium under this scheme, during which they won’t have to pay EMIs. Once it’s over, the repayment schedule will resume as usual. This is unquestionably beneficial for those who need finances for treatment, business operations, etc.
