Banks have multiple options for loan recovery. Our banking lawyer in Kolkata assists banks in recovering dues from defaulting borrowers through SARFAESI proceedings (taking possession and selling secured assets without court intervention under Section 13), filing recovery applications before the Debts Recovery Tribunal (DRT) for amounts above ₹20 lakh, filing civil suits for recovery in regular courts, filing criminal complaints for cheque bounce under Section 138 NI Act, and negotiating one-time settlements. We handle the complete recovery process from demand notice to auction to final recovery.
Borrowers and guarantors also have legal rights against aggressive recovery actions. Our banking lawyer in Kolkata defends borrowers by challenging SARFAESI proceedings under Section 17 before DRT if the bank's action is illegal or disproportionate, filing complaints before the Banking Ombudsman for unfair banking practices, negotiating one-time settlements (OTS) with banks for reduced payment, filing writ petitions before High Court against illegal actions, and seeking restructuring or rescheduling of loans under RBI guidelines. We also advise on bankruptcy and insolvency options under IBC when debt is unsustainable.
Customers can complain against banks for deficient service through the Banking Ombudsman scheme. Our banking lawyer in Kolkata files complaints before the Banking Ombudsman for issues such as non-payment or delay in payment of cheques/drafts, non-acceptance of small denomination notes, non-adherence to fair practices, delay in operation of accounts, levy of excessive charges, and failure to honor guarantees/letters of credit. The Ombudsman can award compensation up to ₹20 lakh. We handle the complete complaint process from filing to hearing to implementation.
Bank guarantees and indemnity bonds are important banking transactions. Our banking lawyer in Kolkata handles disputes related to bank guarantees (including invocation disputes), letters of credit (non-payment or wrongful dishonor), indemnity bonds (claims and defenses), performance guarantees (wrongful invocation), and corporate guarantees (enforcement and defenses). We advise on the validity of guarantees, limitation periods, discharge of guarantor, and rights of contribution among co-guarantors.
