HI,
originally i had taken a loan from barclays. Later it was taken over by Kotak mahindra. I defaulted on the loan as i was jobless. I got a job and what i need to know is can Kotak put a freeze on my salary account from citibank?

They can do so after they file a suit against U.They cannot directly freeze UR salary account in another bank.

Since the Bank is Kotak Mahindra after taking over.You are liable towards this Bank now.
Bankers have general lien / right to set off on the assets of the borrowers with the Bank, so they can held lien on your account in the same Bank.

there are some facts yet to be disclosed.
if a person owes some money to the bank and not paying then bank cannot just ask any other bank to withhold debit in his account.
other bank is not bound not authorized to accept such requisition from other bank. Had it been so then all DRT judges and staff would be jobless.

he has posted the same query in a new thread today"Regarding loans"He is playing with the time of the experts. His actual intention as per my observation is either to evade repayment or acadamic query to gain knowledge how to dupe banks in future.

The Kotak Bank cannot do so on their own, they have to obtain an order from court for attaching the salary in an order in EP which will be a resultant of a decree and judgment in their favor in a money recovery suit filed by them.
