A.Dear Client,
A loan is termed NPA typically after 3 missed EMis (i.e. three months of not repaying on loan). Given this, no bank will initiate the seizure of a vehicle before that. Once the loan account becomes NPA, it is up to the lender how soon to initiate repossession. If there is a guarantor involved, the bank may first reach out to the guarantor. The Supreme Court has warned financial institutions and banks against forcible taking away of vehicles under hire-purchase agreements when there is a default in payment of loans and said they could be saddled with punitive costs if they did so. Recently, The Patna High Court has said that financial institutions and banks forcibly taking away vehicles through recovery agents from owners for defaulting on repayment of loans is a violation of the fundamental right to life and livelihood. Reach to an Advocate for guidance and steps.

A.Dear client,

Contact IDFC Bank: Reach out to IDFC Bank immediately to inquire about the reason your bike was taken. Obtain information about any outstanding dues or defaults that may have led to this action. Communicate your desire to retrieve your bike and ask for guidance on the necessary steps to resolve the issue.

Understand the terms and conditions: Review the terms and conditions of your loan agreement with IDFC Bank to determine what provisions apply in cases of default or non-payment. This will give you a better understanding of their rights and your obligations.

Negotiate with IDFC Bank: If there is an outstanding balance or issue related to your loan, try to negotiate with IDFC Bank to find a mutually acceptable solution. Discuss repayment options, potential settlements, or any alternative arrangements that may help you regain possession of your bike.

Seek legal advice: If you encounter difficulties in resolving the matter directly with IDFC Bank, consider consulting with a lawyer or seeking legal advice. They can help you understand your rights, provide guidance on legal options available to you, and assist in communicating with the bank if necessary.

Lodge a complaint: If you believe that IDFC Bank has acted improperly or violated any regulations, you can consider lodging a complaint with the appropriate banking ombudsman or regulatory authority. Provide all relevant details and documentation to support your case.
