Any change in the data would have hampered the basic functioning of the system. Interest accrued during this period was receivable in the future, it could not be included in the instalment schedule, and was needed to be capitalized at the end of the moratorium period.<\/p>\n<p><strong>On 23rd May 2020, RBI issued another circular <\/strong>wherein the moratorium was extended by three more months, i.e. up to 31- Aug-2020, Before this circular, moratorium capitalization was scheduled on\u00a0 31st May 2020, this extension of moratorium period called for a change in strategy for 31st May 2020, and future period i.e. 1st Jun 2020 to 31st Aug 2020.<\/p>\n<p>A new script was prepared for processing moratorium at month-end from Jun-20 onwards. Pre-closure or maturity Loan Account during this period was provided with options for collections before capitalization.<\/p>\n<p>Accommodating customized solutions based on two circulars at two different times compelled us to change strategies, demanding extra time and effort.\u00a0 Few Customers decided to go ahead with moratorium Interest capitalization on 31st May 2020 and to capitalize on every month-end and if the instalments were unpaid, same would continue till 31st Aug 2020. This called for individual customization based on different decisions by each customer which made moratorium interest calculation a very complex process.<\/p>\n<h5><strong><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 20px;\">Solutions<\/span><\/strong><\/h5>\n<h5><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\"><strong>1st RBI Circular Solution on 27<sup>th<\/sup> Mar 2020 had the following objectives.<\/strong><\/span><\/h5>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Providing blanket moratorium for unpaid instalment from 1<sup>st<\/sup> March 2020 and Apr\/May 2020 instalment.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Ensuring March Month interest earnings does not drop, even after unpaid instalment Interest accrual on the due date are reversed after the moratorium.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Moratorium Interest is included in Instalment Schedule with 20<sup>th<\/sup> June 2020 due<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Month-end broken period interest accrual for March, April &amp; May was taken care with the above<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">After moratorium interest capitalization, the following were provided.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">New instalment amount would be calculated on revised POS<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Future instalment interest would be calculated on revised POS<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">No Recalculation of Interest &#8211; Moratorium would be recovered in Last few instalments<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The Loan tenure would be extended with the same Installment Amount.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Scripts were developed with the above functionalities within a short period and QA Team started testing the solutions simultaneously.\u00a0 The solutions were developed with parameterization to take-care of the different moratoriums.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">A task team was formed to coordinate with a set of clients, who would discuss and configure the required functionalities by executing the script in UAT and sharing the output with clients for verification.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Moratorium Interest would be recalculated on 31st May 2020 and it should be capitalized with the future instalments scheduled to be redrawn based on the configurations (Same EMI and Extend Tenure, Interest Recalculation).<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">For Future months, Instalments would be kept on scheduled due dates, with the following action to be taken during the Month-end.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Unpaid instalment would be pushed to next month due<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Interest Receivable to be<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Excess Installment Amount paid during the month would be adjusted by preponing the Installment (1, 2 or 3 based on the payment amount).<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Calculation of the Moratorium interest for May-20 and keeping Moratorium Interest table for the purpose mentioned above<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Above 3 steps had to be executed on 31<sup>st<\/sup> May 30<sup>th<\/sup> Jun &amp; 31<sup>st<\/sup> Jul 2020.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Recalculation of the moratorium interest on 31<sup>st<\/sup> Aug 2020 and capitalization to be done.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h5><strong><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 20px;\"><u>Learnings<\/u><\/span><\/strong><\/h5>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Flexibility:<\/strong> System should accommodate sudden changes or urgent requirements from Regulatory \/ Statutory \/ Nodal Agencies.
