PTPTN deferment ended right, need to start paying this month?

PETALING JAYA: The government is extending the deferment on National Higher Education Fund Corporation (PTPTN) loan repayments for another three months.

Higher Education Minister Datuk Dr Noraini Ahmad said the extended deferment would be from Oct 1 to Dec 31.

“This involves an estimated repayment of RM375mil, which means the total estimated deferral of repayment is RM1.13bil.

“All PTPTN borrowers will be given an automatic extension on deferment; they will not have to make any application.

“If there are borrowers who want to continue the loan repayment, however, they can do so through the online repayment platform that is provided, ” she said in a statement on Tuesday (Aug 4).

The government was concerned and took cognisance of the financial constraints faced by some PTPTN borrowers who lost their jobs and sources of income due to Covid-19, she explained.

She said the ministry hoped the announcement would ease the burden of the borrowers.

PTPTN borrowers can contact the corporation’s careline at 03-21933000, which operates from Monday to Friday, from 9am to 5pm, or visit the official portal at www.ptptn.gov.my for more information.

In March, the government announced a three-month deferment on PTPTN loan repayments due to the impact of Covid-19.

Noraini had said then that the deferment would be in effect immediately up to June 30.

I supposed to graduate couple months ago but I still need to repeat 1 more paper. I got 3.0> for my CGPA. I got my credit transferred so I only required to study 2 years but my contract with ptptn is 3 years because it is supposed to be a 3 years course. Will I still able to receive my ptptn loan?

If can pay then pay, unless you are those "First Class Honours" waivers students.

Repayment of PTPTN loans deferred another three months

ya because i logged in to their payment website saw the payable amount is few k @@
am confused because previously they mentioned will restructure the monthly payable once the deferment ends.

i was expecting to see a amount slightly higher than the previous pre-deferment monthly few hundred payable.

Well nvm, see if they will update it later since today is just the first day of the year.

Meaning they expect u to pay back one lump sum the whole deferred amount?

Why they said "TAMAT PEMBIAYAAN"? Anyone know why?

previously wrote to them, was informed that it will be restructured

any update for anyone in terms of outstanding balance? my outstanding also sits at few k now due to the deferment. intend to start re-servicing the loan again from this month

I called them and is so confusing. Why dont they send statement or billing to our email. I also dont know when I need to start paying.

Now they say I have a outstanding on last year march, they ask me go counter and pay the outstanding then restructure.

Now cannot travel inter district, I want to go counter also can't.

I just called PTPTN again. They advised to pay Jan's amount (same with before moratorium) first as they not sure when the auto restructure will be done. Screw this i just paid off everything.
