KUALA LUMPUR: All National Higher Education Fund Corporation (PTPTN) borrowers who have accrued an outstanding balance after the one-year grace period are urged to update their personal information, or it will be understood that they do not wish to delay their repayment.
PTPTN chairman Wan Saiful Wan Jan said the information will help the corporation identify borrowers who earn less than RM4,000.
“These are information pertaining to their occupation, salary, phone number and email address.
“They have until July 25 and an audit will then be conducted by PTPTN.
“If it is not done within the stipulated time, we will assume that they don’t wish to delay the repayment, of their loans and they will not be included in new policies with regards to the matter,” he told reporters here yesterday.
As part of their election manifesto, the Government pledged to allow fresh graduates who earn less than RM4,000 to delay settling their loans.
Borrowers can update their information on the corporation’s official portal, www.ptptn.gov.my under ‘Pengemaskinian Maklumat Pendapat’.
