What is the Bank of Baroda Loan Moratorium?

Due to the crisis brought by the Covid-19 pandemic on life and finance on the Indian population, RBI had come up with relief measures in the form of EMI moratorium period from 1 March 2020 - 31 August 2020.

As part of this directive, banks and other financial institutions in India had been asked to follow the terms of the scheme and grant its customers an EMI moratorium for a period of 6 months.
