If the facts mentioned by you are true.. it is enormous amount of interest.. It is advisable for you to consult a local lawyer.

The loan is covered by Mumbai lenders Act and Bombay Usurious lender Act 1918 where high rates of interest are charged. Contact a local good lawyer and file suit for relief of excessive principal and interest burden under the above Acts.

Every State has enacted legislation prohibiting exorbitant rate of interest. The general principle has is to prohibit interest above 2% of the prevailing highest rate of interest levied by the scheduled banks.
