Hi Bharath, Thank you for your response—this is helpful. However, I have one key scenario I would like to clarify. I want to keep the existing loan active with only the installments that are already due (or up to a certain point) and remove the not-yet-due future installments. Based on those removed future installments, I would then like to create a new loan. Could you please advise if there is a supported way in Fineract to achieve this behavior?

To use the Top-up loan feature in Fineract A top-up loan allows you to create another loan from the existing loan. You can refer to this<https://docs.mifos.org/mifosx/user-manual/for-administrators-mifos-x-platform/administration/products/loan-products/loan-product-fields/configuring-and-disbursing-of-top-up-loan> document for more information 2. Write off and re-create a loan This can be an effective workaround where you can write--off the loan as of the 8th installment date and create a new loan with just 4 installments and the previous principal balance. The only thing you need to verify is the accounting entries if you are using Fineract accounting. You can refer to this<https://docs.mifos.org/mifosx/user-manual/for-operational-users-mifos-x-web-app/accounts-and-transactions/loan-accounts/how-to-write-off-a-loan-account#to-write-off-a-loan-account> document for more information Let me know if you have any questions Regards, Bharath Lead Implementation Analyst | Mifos Initiative PMC Member | Apache Fineract Mobile: +91.7019635592 http://mifos.org<http://mifos.org/> [https://outlook.office.com/mail/AAMkADBlZGMyY2YzLWI4NTUtNDA4NS04MzA1LWRhMDc3Yjc5YmQ3YQAuAAAAAADQE3XSbU%2FbQ6Amein%2BJT3IAQC4XPGWXz1UQalsS5U2eeGNAACWG6moAAA%3D/id/AAkALgAAAAAAHYQDEapmEc2byACqAC%2FEWg0AuFzxll89VEGpbEuVNnnhjQACvHvmkAAA?nativeVersion=1.2025.1209.500] <http://facebook.com/mifos> [https://outlook.office.com/mail/AAMkADBlZGMyY2YzLWI4NTUtNDA4NS04MzA1LWRhMDc3Yjc5YmQ3YQAuAAAAAADQE3XSbU%2FbQ6Amein%2BJT3IAQC4XPGWXz1UQalsS5U2eeGNAACWG6moAAA%3D/id/AAkALgAAAAAAHYQDEapmEc2byACqAC%2FEWg0AuFzxll89VEGpbEuVNnnhjQACvHvmkAAA?nativeVersion=1.2025.1209.500] <http://www.twitter.com/mifos> On Fri, Jan 2, 2026 at 9:32 AM Bhaskar Tiwari <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: Hello Fineract Community, I am currently using the Apache Fineract application and have a question regarding loan restructuring. I have created a monthly installment loan with a total of 15 installments. The repayment schedule is as follows: * Installments 1 - 4: Fully paid * Installments 5 – 8: Due and not yet paid * Installments 9 – 12: Not yet due For reference, the original loan schedule looks like this: Installment No. Due Date Paid status 1 31-May-25 Paid 2 30-Jun-25 Paid 3 31-Jul-25 Paid 4 31-Aug-25 Paid 5 30-Sep-25 Due 6 31-Oct-25 Due 7 30-Nov-25 Due 8 31-Dec-25 Due 9 31-Jan-26 Not yet due 10 28-Feb-26 Not yet due 11 31-Mar-26 Not yet due 12 30-Apr-26 Not yet due Due to certain business reasons, I would now like to do the following: 1. Remove installments 9 to 12 from the existing loan which are not due yet. 2. Create a new loan with: * Disbursement date as today (the date when this activity is performed). * Repayment schedule consisting only of installments 9 to 12 from the original loan. In other words, the first loan should retain installments 1 to 8, and a new loan should be created for the remaining future installments (9 to 12). I would like to understand: * Whether this is possible in Fineract. * If so, what is the recommended approach (API, loan rescheduling, refinance, write-off and rebook, or any other supported method). Any guidance, documentation references, or best practices would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your support. Regards, Bhaskar Tiwari "Print this mail only if absolutely necessary. Save Paper.
