BANK  ADALAT IS NOTHING BUT LOK ADALAT  CONSTITUTED UNDER lEGAL SERVICES  AUTHORITIES ACT    WHICH IS AN INFORMAL PEOPLE'S  COURT AND IF YOU AND BANK MUTUALLYY APPROACH lok ADALAT IT MAY SETTLEYOUR DEBT  DUE TOTHE BANK ON ACCOUNT OF EDUCATIONALLOAN. LOK ADALAT BRINGS ABOUT A SETTLEMENT OF REASONABLE AMOUNT PAYABLE  BY YOU TOTHE BANK ON MUTUALLY AGREED AMICABLE TERMS  AND WHOSE DECREE IS EQUAL TO A CIVIL COURT DECREE AND BINDING ON BOTH OF YOU.THE LOK ADALAT MAY DISPOSE OF YOUR CASE AT THE MOST WITHIN 1/2 AN HOUR.

Without your consent in writing, no Adalat can decide any thing (not Courts).  You can submit your repayment capacity, period and Bank may accept or suggest their figure, depending on both the versions, The president may convince you both for a figure which he may suggest or you may bargain depending on circumstances.  But without your written consent nothing can happen, and attending LA shows your sincerity in making a repayment.  If Bank approaches Court it takes years and definitely the decision may be in their favour.

So attend the same to establish your sincerity and make use of a good opportunity.

However, a settlement in Lok Adalat may affect your CIBIL score.
