Commercial question.

Consult a local prudent lawyer.

Whether your business is having a money lending license or permission by RBI and whether collecting such high interest is legally permissible? Contact a local advocate as any pressure from you without a valid license for such money lending business may subject you to arrest and other action by Police.

Without proper loan documents, it is difficult to contest such cases without proper documentation in the courts.Mutually, friendly try to recover from them. That is the soluton in this case.

"Interest of Rs 2.50 per 100 rupees" - is it per year or per month or per week............?

No surprise if it is per day, as it is the practice in this type of "Thandal" money lending. They will advance amounts up to Rs.10,000/- to those pushcart and vegetable vendors and they will deduct advance interest in principal and this Rs.10,000/- has to be paid in 100 days and daily they start collecting such amounts from 8.00 P.M.from every vendor, if there is a day failure borrower has to repay Rs.2-50 +Rs.100 the next day. In many states, it was declared that this type of business is illegal and a police complaint can be filed. In spite of all these, with muscle power, the business is thriving and no one bothers until a suicide takes place due to harassment of their ladies or confiscation of the valuables present in the house.

In response to your query,

Daily tandal scheme is not legal if you don't have licence to lend the money as a licenced creditor. You will face problem in recovery of money because you don't have any agreement or cheques with you by which you can claim the money.

But in case you have a proper license to run your business then you can go ahead and file a formal complaint against him and take further legal action as well. In other case it will be difficult to recover your money along with the interest. The original amount can be recovered if you file a complaint just for lending the money and not for business as you have the evidence of giving him the money through bank details.
