If a person has two PTPTN loans (they show up separately in CCRIS - one for diploma and another for degree), is settling one of the two loans considered full settlement, i.e. eligible for 15% discount?

I dont hv ptptn loan a/c..
Can I ask, is the details of that 2 loans displayed in ccris has separate reference like different a/c number or loan numbers to differentiate between the diploma loan from the degree one?
If hv I think n my bets is,... settling one fully will also gets that discount.

Yes completely different details. Even bank in to different account numbers.

It’s ambiguous for the scenario above, which is why I ask.

Hi all,

I'm considering paying the full amount of PTPTN to grab the discount of 15% given by our beloved government by using KWSP Account 2. After the workout which seems like not worth doing so? here is my calculation

Here is my calculation:-
PTPTN amount of RM 38,500.00
Monthly payment RM 245.50 (RM 212.92 payment and RM 34.58 interest)
Full payment to save RM 5,775.00 (15% from RM 38,500)

If monthly stick to the monthly pre-payment required 181 months (RM 38,500.00 / RM 212.92 = 181 months equivalent to 15 years) to clear the PTPTN.

With this 15 years, KWSP Account 2 compound interest of 5.5% p.a (assumption) will be earned about RM 49,200.00.

In order to save you RM 12,033.98 (RM 5,775.00 plus RM 6,258.98 (RM 34.58 x 181 Months)). You're losing RM 37,166.02 (RM49,200.00 - RM 12,033.98)

Meaning to say, it's not worth clearing PTPTN using KWSP Account 2. Any sifu can enlighten me? Just a simple calculation.

Obviously you don't trade an asset yielding 5% to clear off a liability costing 1%. Just doesn't make sense. Not even with the 15% upfront discount.

Don't touch epf to clear ptptn
