Borrowers who have failed, discontinued, changed course or obtained other sponsors have to pay off the lump-sum amount of their loan. Installment method will not be offered for this kind of case.
12 months after your graduate date, you have to start paying off the instalments for the PTPTN loan. The repayment period will be set in accordance to your loan amount.
The interest rate is 1.00% per annum and is in effect following the 12 month grace period immediately after graduation. However, those who settle the loan in full prior to this 12 month grace period will not be charged of any administrative cost.
PTPTN waiver will only be eligible for First Class Honour students that come from B40 families.
PTPTN applies penalties to borrowers who fail to repay their loans on time. Delinquent borrowers will be given up to 3 reminders and afterwards PTPTN will blacklist these delinquent borrowers. The blacklisted people will be prohibited from going abroad, and not be permitted to renew passport.
