State-owned banking institutions categorically denied circulating rumors regarding the deduction of two loan installments at once in the event of delayed salary payments for employees and retirees. Bank management clarified that the installment deduction mechanism relies exclusively on the actual funding of the salary, not on the time elapsed. They confirmed that only one installment is collected per salary deposit, strictly following the approved repayment schedule. Relevant authorities urged citizens to rely on official sources for information and warned against rumors aimed at causing anxiety among borrowers.
