Based on this, in the first two years of repayment, the maximum monthly installments are 5 million tomans, so that the applicants of the National Housing Movement can afford it. After two years, the installments will be received in a staggered manner.

The required resources for the difference in the interest of the facility will be provided in the same way as the previous model, where one-third comes from the Central Bank, one-third from the National Development Fund, and one-third from the National Housing Fund. The interest rate is not supposed to be reduced by 18%, the discussion is that a group whose benefit is currently 18% will be included in the rural housing facility at a rate of 5%.
