Why Choose Us for Banking & Finance Matters

1- I have received a loan default notice from my bank. What should I do?

You should respond immediately and seek legal advice. Ignoring it can lead to recovery proceedings under SARFAESI Act or filing of a case in Debt Recovery Tribunal (DRT).

2- What is SARFAESI and how can it affect me?

The SARFAESI Act, 2002 allows banks and financial institutions to recover their dues without court intervention by taking possession of secured assets and selling them.

3- Can a bank freeze my account without notice?

Banks can freeze accounts in certain situations such as suspected fraud, non-compliance with KYC norms, or as per regulatory orders. In most cases, they must inform you, but urgent circumstances may justify immediate freezing.

4- What are my legal remedies if my cheque is dishonoured?

You can initiate criminal proceedings under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act or file a civil recovery suit. Time limits for sending a legal notice apply.

5-How do I challenge a bank’s wrongful action?

You can file a complaint with the Banking Ombudsman, approach the Consumer Forum, or take legal action in DRT or civil court, depending on the matter.

6- Can NBFCs and fintech companies take the same recovery actions as banks?

NBFCs have limited powers compared to banks under SARFAESI, but they can still initiate civil recovery suits and invoke arbitration clauses in agreements.

7- What is DRT and when does it have jurisdiction?

Debt Recovery Tribunals handle cases where banks or financial institutions claim recovery of debts exceeding ₹20 lakh.

8- Can a bank auction my property without a court order?

Yes, under SARFAESI, if you default on a secured loan, the bank can auction your mortgaged property without a court order after proper notices.

9. How does the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC) help in debt resolution?

IBC provides a time-bound process for resolving insolvency of companies and individuals through NCLT, allowing creditors to recover dues and debtors to restructure or settle debts.
