Loan on the basis of post dated cheques and undertaking from

A loan on the basis of post dated cheques as well as undertaking from employer of borrower(govt. servant) was taken, if post dated cheques bounced on their dates, amount equal to cheque will be deducted from the salary of employee/borrower and sent to creditor.

At the time of disbursing loan to borrower, on the back side of undertaking of his employer, it was got written in the handwriting of the borrower that undertaking was given by Mr. A (name of the person who has given the undertaking) who is authorized to given such undertaking.

Now the 3rd cheque of instalment was bounced, when contacted to borrower, no satisfactory answer was given, when his attention was drawn towards sending undertaking to his employer, the borrowed told to do whatever you like, amount would be given whenever I like. On this, undertaking was sent to Employer of borrower to get deducted the amount of the cheque from the salary of employee/borrower and send it to creditor as promised in your undertaking.

After 2 or 3 days of sending undertaking, the borrower came to creditor and paid whole amount of loan and got No dues Certificate as well as all his original documents back including the undertaking of employer.

Afterwards, a letter came from his employer that the undertaking seems to be forged and matter is under investigation. You should recover your loan amount at your level.

Afterwards, a letter again came from employer seeking some clarifications regarding undertaking and asking to send a copy attested by gazetted officer, that letter was replied by the creditor that as our amount was got back, we do not require any further proceeding and Original undertaking has been hand over to borrower.

Now my queries are: 1. whether creditor should deliver all original documents including that Original Undertaking when amount is fully repaid or not?

2. Is there any liability on the part of the creditor now?

3. Now what should creditor do if any further enquiry come from the Employer?

1)If requested for the documents may be given to the borrower ,retaining the photocopies for record ,once the loan is paid. 2)There is no liability on the part of the creditor. 3)As the borrower as alleged has forged the undertaking ,he has committed a criminal offence ,under the circumstances you should fully cooperate in the enquiry being held by the employer.

Respected Ajit Singh Cheema ji,

Please let me know where it is written in law, if requested for the documents may be given to the borrower, retaining the photocopies for record, once the loan is paid. So whenever if further questions were raised why original was handed over to borrower/employee, law may be shown to concerned authority. As far as cooperation to employer is concerned, if  creditor cooperate fully, there well be problem to his service, so please let creditor know the way how to handle the situation, so that keeping creditor safe in law as well as the service of  borrower/employee, as it will be in-human to deprive of any person to his service, after getting creditors’ loan amount back fully,  as his children are also depend on him, requesting creditor to get closed  the matter in such a way that his service also remain safe.

Thanks for your guidelines so soon and hoping to get it again soon.
