PTPTN so called ‘kos pentadbiran’ is basically interests being charged to the borrowers.
I’m sure they do not want to create some sort of controversial headings in Malay society when they explicitly telling everyone you have to pay the Riba or else known as ‘interest’.
But to compare, PTPTN loan is among the lowest interest levied loans available in the market. It’s only 4% AND importantly, it’s a reduced balance calculation.
The more you pay, the better it gets. Unlike fixed loan like Hire and Purchase. It makes no difference if you pay more every month.
