This is a separate query on another issue in which you have to open another post. Members are not in a position to guide you as the issue is at the discretion of a banker. It all depends on the worth of the guarantor. If the guarantor's worth (otherwise known as co-obligant) is more, then bankers may not agree. The relationship between the guarantor, capacity must also be considered (SUch as wife is borrower, the husband is guarantor, the property of high value offered as security by husband) Some bankers can understand the delicate position of a stranger and innocent guarantor and can allow with nominal interest (not less than 8% simple from date of NPA). So first contact and give the offer in writing, the courts in India may be conducting special settlement days in a year under Lokadalat cases, wherever there is a possibility of compromise. The Chairman of Lokadalat can prevail on the banker and can convince Banker for a reasonable amount. It all depends on such situations.
