“After the adoption of the law, banks will have to notify the borrower within ten days that there is no obligation to pay interest, and also send him an updated payment schedule,” said State Duma Chairman Vyacheslav Volodin.

According to him, if it turns out that the SVO fighter has already paid interest during the credit holiday, then the bank will have to redirect the money to repay the principal debt.

Earlier it was reported that some Russian National Guard volunteers in the Northern Military District were exempted from penalties for late payments in the Irkutsk region.
