Another relief is to reduce the Minimum Payment percentage on printed bills from May to December 2020 to 5% of the total bill, from initially 10%.

For customers who are late in paying bills, there is also relief of late fee or additional value of the bill that will appear if no payment is made, or payment is less than the minimum payment, or payment after due. Per 1 May 2020, 1% Late Fee is charged from the Total bill or maximum Rp 100,000,-. Initially it was set at 3% or maximum Rp 150,000.
