According to the circular the central bank issued on Wednesday, loan rescheduling and restructuring can be carried out after repayment of at least 10 percent of the outstanding interest amount by analyzing the cash flow and income of the industry and business at the request of debtors.


Four other conditions have also been stipulated for the implementation of the arrangements. 'The loan classified as an active loan up to April 13 can only be restructured and rescheduled', the central bank circular said.


'Provision of five percent credit loss on the restructured and rescheduled loan has to be made. Such loans can be mobilized in the cluster in which it was classified', the circular added.
