Pay the loan. If you feel there is mistake in interest calculation you can move to consumer court. in case the unrest is at compound rate then the calculation of interest would have been double of what they are paying.

If the loan amount has not been repaid for a long period of time then it would have the accrued compounded interest added to it.
However this seems to be exorbitant hence you may better seek the details or the breakup for this imaginary amount shown as outstanding.
Before that you may please note that the loan might be barred by limitation if the bank has not taken action for recovery within three years from the last date of transaction, hence do not sign any paper committing the repayment which would be treated as an acknowledgment for the outstanding loan, and the limitation will start afresh from that date.

the above limitation will resume the moment when you or your mother acknowledge the debt at this stage by any written or verbal expression.

Settle the loan with Bank.
However, it is not a legal dispute for consideration and obligation of experts.

At the time of sanction of the loan, the terms and conditions for the settlement of principle,interest,penal interest and other incidental expenses for initiating legal process would have been incorporated in the MOD. The question of limitation etc., not arise.This is the procedure in respect of Housing loans.therefore try to settle the dues.Alternatively you can approach the Look Adalat.

Morally loan repayment cast on the borrower and any failure will have its own impact. I see two options talk to bank ask for details and for such a claim if you would like to settle. Another option is wait for further claim from as admissible under law as it appears the claim is time barred. You also may check whether the communication address has been changed as bank would have sent to the address which declared in the loan application.

non-payment of debt results in reduction of future chances of loan.
