**Budget 2027 will introduce several measures aimed at making PTPTN loan repayments more manageable for lower-income borrowers.**

Those earning RM2,500 a month or below will be allowed to defer their loan repayments, easing the burden on borrowers with limited monthly income.

## RM50 Minimum Repayment For Those Earning Up To RM3,000

Borrowers with a monthly income between RM2,501 and RM3,000 will only need to make a minimum repayment of RM50 per month.

The measure is aimed at ensuring borrowers can continue repaying their loans without putting too much pressure on their monthly expenses.

## 10% Discount For Consistent Repayers
