As per sarfaesi 13(2) notice, the claim of bank is 9.10 Lakhs. RBI advises banks to approach lok adalats for recoevry of dues on credit card, personal loan, home loan etc below 20 lakhs.

Please advise.

Dear Harish,

Certainly the case cannot be contested on the grounds mentioned above.

Mr.Harish,

will you quote the  Number and date of the circular of RBI advising the banks to approach Lok Adalats for dues bellow Rs 20 lakcs for Home Loans,personal loans etc.On going through the provisions of RBI it will be proper to advise you.

Mr Harish, Could you please provide some info on where you the lok adalats.. ?

I could think of Item j) only as below under the ACT, where Bank regulated by RBI and HDFC regulated by NHB can not issue as Notice under section 13 ( I believe ,I am not a lawyer) if the amount is not exceeded as
 per the limit.

(j) any case in which the amount due is less than twenty per cent of the principal amount and
interest thereon.

CHAPTER VI
MISCELLANEOUS
31. Provisions of this Act not to apply in certain cases
The provisions of this Act shall not apply to--
(h) any security interest for securing repayment of any financial asset not exceeding one lakh
rupees;
(i) any security interest created in agricultural land;
(j) any case in which the amount due is less than twenty per cent of the principal amount and
interest thereon.

You have to go to DRT., however lender can not take forcible possession. After issue of notice if possession is not given they have to take permission of Dt court.

RAJU O.F., (Advocate)     01 March 2011

Banks can take physical possession without going to Dist.Court/ Judicial Magistrate.  Only if resistance from borrower, they approach Magistrate Court under Sec.14 of the Act.

Does that mean , if interest is due more than Rs 1Lakh then the bank has right to go for NPA.

Is n't contradicting the case (j) on Miscellaneous in Chapter VI

Better to take an advice from experts. Look for Phone Number on blog

RAJU O.F., (Advocate)     08 May 2011

Banks can and will take action under SARFAESI Act on home loan accounts, as the property values are escalated and bank officials are very much interested for selling such properties.  If you have any specific query, it can be answered.

TVD Rajkumar (Advocate)     24 May 2011

then the bank has right to go for NPA.

NPA is a different concept. RBI has provided certain guidelines as when an account is to be declared an NPA; while 31(j) deals with exemptions.
