What is a credit holiday at RNKB?
In March of this year, the Government relaunched the economic support program for citizens of the Russian Federation. RNKB bank borrowers once again have the opportunity to apply for a credit holiday and defer payments on their current loans for up to six months.

It is important to understand that the program is designed only for the most vulnerable categories of citizens, and therefore the law provides for a number of restrictions:
- Only borrowers whose income has decreased by 30% or more compared to the previous year can use the payment deferral.
- The loan for which the credit holiday is issued must not exceed the limits established by law.
- You can apply for the 2024 credit holiday only once.
Who is legally eligible for a credit holiday at RNKB?
As we already mentioned, only citizens whose income has dropped by more than a third compared to the previous year can get a payment deferral. You can find out if a borrower qualifies for the program as follows:
- Calculate the average monthly income for the previous year.
- Compare it with the income for the month preceding the date of application for the benefit.
- If income has decreased by 30% or more, apply for a credit holiday.

Which loans are covered by the program?
You cannot get a credit holiday for large loans — the program is designed for relatively small consumer loans:
- for consumer loans for individuals with a maximum amount not exceeding 450,000 RUB;
- for secured auto loans in the amount of up to 1.6 million RUB;
- for unsecured auto loans in the amount of up to 450,000 RUB;
- for credit cards with an actual limit of up to 150,000 RUB.
When granting a credit holiday, it is not the remaining debt balance that is taken into account, but the loan amount specified in the agreement.
How do credit holidays under Federal Law 353-FZ work?
When applying for a credit holiday on consumer loans, the following conditions are met:
- the amount of interest and penalties is fixed as of the start date of the credit holiday and is paid after it ends;
- interest continues to accrue during the credit holiday and is paid after it ends;
- if credit cards are available, they will be temporarily blocked for outgoing transactions.
Conditions for credit cards are practically identical:
- the grace period on the credit card ceases to be valid during the credit holiday;
- the amount of interest and penalties is fixed as of the start date of the credit holiday and is paid after it ends;
- interest continues to accrue during the credit holiday and is paid after it ends;
- all credit cards will be temporarily blocked for outgoing transactions.

What documents are required to apply for a credit holiday in 2024?
The borrower's task is to prove to the bank that they have found themselves in a difficult financial situation and are eligible for state support. To do this, they need to provide documents confirming their right to a deferral. The following can serve as proof:
- 2-NDFL income statement;
- certificate of registration as unemployed;
- copy of the labor book with the dismissal record;
- sick leave certificate;
- copy of the salary reduction order;
- copy of the employer's suspension of operations order.
