Crop loan of deceased person

The jewel loan also was availed by your FIL.

Since he has died, the crop loan has to be recovered by bank, hence without any assurance of repayment of the crop loan, the bank may put restrictions to transfer the jewel loan to any other person.

If you are so much interested to redeem the jewels by repaying the jewel loan, what prevents you from repaying the crop loan.

Or whether you are under imnpression that the unsecured loan should not be repaid?

The RBI has left such situations to the discretion of the concerned bank manager  because it is the ultimate responsibility of the bank manager to recover the loans from borrowers. 

Therefore there is no legal infirmity to insist on repayment of the crop loan of the deeased borrower this way. 

Crop. loan is very differant then personal loan, if the Jwellary loan is personally taken you can file suit for release of jwellary and for corp loan the rule will apply for corporates as even there can be solvancy and bankruptcy .

Just ned to check the loan agreements and gurantees

Thanks for your reply, we are not trying to redeem. We are trying to renew on another person as the tenure has completed.

This act clearly indicates that you are trying to transfer the loan to an irrelevant person making it difficult for the bank to recover the crop loan.

A complaint with the banking ombudsman will also not fetch you a favorable reply, hence you may try to settle the crop loan and then either redeem the jewel loan or transfer it to any other person as per your proposal.
