All the due dates, repayment schedule will be shifted for three months.

The individual EMI repayments of the loans would not be deducted from their respective bank accounts till the mentioned time gets completed. The loan EMI payments starts once the announced time comes to an end. The Finance Ministry wrote to the Central Bank suggesting a moratorium after the recent crisis.
