Conditional bank-wide prepayment/closure ruleFor a non-individual borrower taking over a loan to shift to another bank/FI, PNB's current schedule states 2% of the prepaid amount on term loans and 2% of the sanctioned limit when a cash-credit/overdraft facility is closed before its due date. For CC/OD, the stated charge does not apply if written non-renewal notice is given 3 months before the due date and the facility closes on that date. The page lists additional exemptions, including specified floating-rate individual/MSE loans, MSE borrowers, own-source repayment and other stated cases. Exact applicability depends on borrower, purpose, facility, rate type and closure route.View source
The rule is conditional and is not represented as a universal product charge; see the linked full terms table for all stated exceptions.
