Due to some financial problem i was not able to repay the loan. Now the total amount reached 588904, and the account is NPA status and now bank has offered me one time settlement option for paying back the loan. I`m concerned about effect of OTS on my Cibil score, so i asked my bank manager to arrange the EMI option. But due to NPA account he told me to pay the Due amount of 313404 and pay the EMI monthly. Also i have very poor cibil score (I think below 600) because My personal loan application has been rejected due to my cibil score Please suggest how I can pay loan and protect my CIBIL.
