What amounts are exempt from the payment of the levy?
Here are some examples of amounts exempt from garnishment:
- state allowances
- aid for the care of sick children
- maternity benefits
- death grants
- state scholarships
- by day
- APIA/AFIR subsidies
- any other special purpose allowances established by law
- non-reimbursable loans (funding received from national and international institutions or organisations for the implementation of programmes or projects)
It is important to note that the process of locking the amounts is automatic, and when the above income is cashed in, it will be locked. The amounts can be unblocked either at your request at any BT branch or by calling the BT Visual Help direct number BT Visual Help0264308 000, or at the bank's initiative.
