After several banks launched measures to delay the repayment of housing mortgage loans in Shanghai, Shanghai Provident Fund loans have also taken new measures.
On the evening of April 8, the official wechat of Shanghai Provident Fund announced that in order to cooperate with the work related to epidemic prevention and control, those who are hospitalized or isolated due to covid-19 pneumonia, those who need to be isolated for observation in epidemic prevention and control, those who participate in epidemic prevention and control and those who temporarily lose their source of income affected by the epidemic, 2022 who cannot return the housing provident fund loan normally from March to April will not be treated after being identified, That is, no penalty interest will be paid, and it will not be submitted to the credit investigation department as an overdue record
housing provident fund remittance and supplementary payment business can be handled online
According to the official wechat news of Shanghai Provident Fund, according to the plan and arrangement of withdrawing the housing provident fund to repay the housing loan in 2022, the withdrawal date of withdrawing and repaying the loan in April 2022 is April 19. The object of this loan withdrawal and repayment is: the borrower accepted before 17:00 on April 13, 2022 who adopts the monthly withdrawal and repayment method (monthly offset) and one-time withdrawal and repayment method (annual offset, April batch), and the deduction amount is up to the balance of the borrower’s provident fund account on April 14.
In addition, in order to reduce the impact of the epidemic on borrowers, Shanghai Provident Fund Center will arrange an additional annual offset in May for borrowers who apply for one-time withdrawal and repayment from April 14 to 17:00 on May 13. The municipal provident fund center will properly handle the businesses affected by the epidemic and protect the legitimate rights and interests of the deposited employees.
Housing is an important topic closely related to everyone. The epidemic has had an impact on the lives of many people, especially for individuals and small and micro enterprises with limited cash flow. How to repay housing loans in time is an urgent task.
Recently, there was news on the Internet that, “Due to the impact of the epidemic, Shanghai Provident Fund Center is in a closed state and temporarily unable to complete the business related to provident fund in March. At present, it is impossible to estimate the specific opening time in the later stage, so the employees who are in the repayment of provident fund loans may be affected by this situation. The provident fund center suggests that the employees keep enough repayment amount in the relevant repayment bank accounts to avoid the failure of automatic deduction, which will affect their personal credit investigation due to overdue repayment.”
In this regard, the Shanghai Provident Fund Center recently said that it has opened up a variety of online business processing channels. The supplementary payment of housing provident fund can be handled online. A number of housing provident fund businesses, such as unit account opening, provident fund account transfer and sealing, provide online processing channels. All deposit paying units and employees can handle them online through “all in one network” and “Shanghai Provident Fund” app.
The main reason for the “failure of provident fund loan repayment and deduction” in the online legend method is that due to the impact of the epidemic, some units failed to remit the provident fund in time, which will affect the withdrawal and repayment of provident fund in April. It is not the relationship between the closure of offline outlets of provident fund.
Shanghai Provident Fund Center reminds that if the borrower’s timely repayment is affected by the unit’s failure to remit the provident fund in time, the borrower who has withdrawn and repaid the loan shall deposit (or retain) the repayment fund in the loan repayment card for at least one month before the agreed repayment date, so as to make full repayment on the agreed repayment date. The borrower is requested to deposit sufficient funds for repayment through commercial bank outlets and online channels.
multiple banks can postpone loan repayment and protect credit investigation
