Hello Experts,
My wife and I co-own a property in Mumbai. I had been paying EMI from my salary account. My wife was contributing any paise towards the repayment of the loan. My wife is working and has a separate bank account and pays income tax. Due to some reasons, I have been defaulting on paying the EMI recently due to increased expenses. I do not think that we will be able to pay the EMIs any further. In this case, bank will certainly attach our house and will be put it for auction.
My query is:
1. Once the house is auctions which I understand will be at lower than market price. After how much time since I have continously defaulted on the EMI payment will the bank initiate the process of auction?
2. Will the bank return any money back to us after deducting the remaining home loan?
3. If yes, how is the money returned by the bank?
4. Will the remaining account be returne to the account from which EMI were being paid?
5. How does the non-payment of EMI result in the credit rating of my wife and myself? What impact can it have on future borrowings?
Warm regards
