A.Dear Client,
If you do not repay your loan, the lender can take you to court. The court will then require that you pay back the amount in full or face other penalties such as wage garnishment or seizure of assets.
However, as per banking rules, these are the few ways in which banks can help a loan defaulter. In these cases the bank will follow the rules specified as per SARFAESI Act.
LOWER THE EMI: Banks can lower the EMI in two ways: (a) by increasing the loan tenure, (b) by converting non-secured loan to a secured loan. In banking terms it is called as loan rescheduling of restructuring. Lowering of EMI’s due to tenure extension may help few defaulters. But as per bank rules, tenure cannot be increased a lot. As a result, the net effect on EMI reduction is very nominal. But in case of non-secured loan (like personal loan) being converted into a secured loan, reduction in EMI is appreciable. Read more about whether to reduce EMI or tenure in loan prepayment.
ALLOW EMI FREE PERIOD: In cases where the flow of income has been temporarily disturbed, this type of relief may help the borrower. Unforeseen issues like job loss, temporary stoppage in business, operation etc, can be addressed this way. Here the banks may agree to waif-off the EMI collection for a certain period of time (say 3-6 months). After the lapse of this period, the EMI payment must start. Read moe about how home loan prepayment can save lakhs.
ACCEPT A HAIR CUT: There can be a case, where the loan defaulter is in no condition to repay back the loan balance (today or in future). But he is offering to pay a part of the loan. In return for this part-payment, the defaulter is asking the bank to close the loan once and for all. Why a bank should agree for such an offer? Because it is better to get something than nothing. Here the onus is on the loan defaulter to convince the bank to accept the offer. Read more about what it means for banks to ‘take a hair cut’.
FOLLOW SARFAESI ACT: Bank’s will resort to this step only when a loan has been deemed as an NPA
