Section 138 - Default loan Section 138 - Default loan

3 years ago

A Financial Institution has filed a section 138 against me as I've defaulted the loan. I believe they've presented the empty cheques I had given them while taking the loan. For 2 years I was jobless and couldn't pay the EMIs. I've got a job now but it's still very difficult to pay them the full amount. However, I'm okay with paying in EMIs back but like how it earlier was and not like within one or two years as the EMI amount will be lot higher. Total amount is around 5 to 6 Lakhs.

I see that there's a Hearing in a court for my case tomorrow in another state and I can't be present.

How to proceed further with the case? What are the options available for me in this scenario?

A.I believe the bank would be within its rights. However, an amicable discussion may first be made with the bank, which can also lead to them withdrawing the case.
