Kotak Bank Loan Settlement Lawyer & Legal Representations

What is Kotak Bank loan Settlement?

A Kotak loan settlement means a legally binding compromise arrangement where Kotak Bank agrees to settle your account by accepting a lump-sum amount that is less than what is originally owed. A loan is usually considered for settlement only after the bank has declared it a Non-Performing Asset or NPA. A loan account is declared NPA when EMI payments have been missed for 90 days or more.

Banks are aware that taking legal action to recover the entire debt will take time and money. Instead, they may agree to waive off interest and penal charges or a percentage of the principal amount owed to recover money faster.

It’s a win-win situation for Kotak Bank borrowers. The lender gets to clean up its balance sheet by closing a non-performing loan. You get quick relief from your debt and financial stress.

Legal Framework We Use for Kotak Bank Loan Settlement

SARFAESI Act, 2002

The SARFAESI Act empowers banks for any Kotak loan settlement where there is any asset secured against the loan. The bank does not need to go to court to take over the asset if you fail to repay the loan. The SARFAESI Act also provides borrowers with a “Right of Representation” under section 13(3A). At our law firm, we specialise in drafting such representations to point out legal flaws to force the bank to settle your Kotak loan.

RDDBFI Act & DRT Process

If Kotak Bank or its recovery agents files a legal suit in Debt Recovery Tribunal for more than ?20 Lakhs, then your Kotak loan settlement petition will be filed as a full-fledged lawsuit in front of the Debt Recovery Tribunal. We appear on behalf of borrowers and oppose the bank’s “Certificate of Debt.” Additionally, we use the Discovery process to highlight additional charges that were not mentioned in the notice. This lowers your overall payable amount during Kotak loan settlement negotiations.

Our Legal Services Include:

• Reviewing the demand / possession notice
• Drafting representation or objection
• Advising borrowers about possible repayment/settlement options
• Appearing on behalf of borrower before the bank initiates possession or auction proceedings
• Reviewing the Original Application filed by the bank and the documents attached with it
• Filing necessary legal and factual objections
• Appearing on behalf of the borrower during hearings before the tribunal
• Assess settlement alongside defending the case

7. What should I look for before submitting Kotak loan settlement payment?

Before submitting the agreed upon settlement amount, make sure you receive a settlement letter from Kotak Bank’s loan settlement cell. The letter should mention your account number, settlement amount, payment deadline, mode of payment and full-and-final settlement terms.

Never make a payment unless you receive a settlement letter mentioning these details. A verbal assurance or sending money to a unfamiliar account is not safe.
