Frequently Asked Questions
Can I negotiate directly with the bank before the 60 days under my Khordha loan account's Section 13(2) notice run out?
Yes, nothing prevents a borrower from approaching the lender during the 60-day notice period to discuss repayment or a settlement, alongside or instead of filing formal objections. Keeping a written record of any such communication is useful if the matter later proceeds to the Debts Recovery Tribunal. Silence during this period, however, generally works against the borrower.
How is jurisdiction decided for a Securitisation Application involving a Khordha property?
Jurisdiction under Section 17 of the SARFAESI Act is tied to the location of the secured asset or the branch maintaining the loan account, which for a borrower connected to Khordha district directs the matter to the Debts Recovery Tribunal exercising authority over that area. This is a procedural question best confirmed at the time of filing, as branch and property location can sometimes differ.
Does the borrower get any hearing before possession is taken from a property in Khordha district?
The SARFAESI Act does not require a civil court hearing before possession, which is what distinguishes it from ordinary recovery suits. The borrower's main opportunity to be heard on the legality of the step comes afterward, through a Section 17 application before the Debts Recovery Tribunal, where procedural objections to the possession action can be raised and examined.
Who can challenge an auction sale connected to a loan account in Khordha district?
The borrower, co-borrower, or guarantor — any person aggrieved by the sale — can file a Securitisation Application before the Debts Recovery Tribunal questioning the auction process. The Tribunal then examines whether the Security Interest (Enforcement) Rules were complied with before deciding whether the sale should stand.
Does opting for a settlement affect a borrower's pending case before the Tribunal for a Khordha district property?
Once a one-time settlement is formalised and the agreed amount is paid, the bank or NBFC typically withdraws the SARFAESI notice and any related proceedings, including a pending Securitisation Application before the Debts Recovery Tribunal. The specific withdrawal process depends on the stage the matter has reached and the terms recorded in the settlement.
