If you've received a notice regarding loan default, take immediate action: respond within 15 days requesting loan restructuring. For dishonored ECS payments, Section 25(c) of the Payment and Settlement Systems Act operates similarly to Section 138 of NI Act, making it a criminal offense. Once three EMIs are in default, your account will be classified as a Non-Performing Asset (NPA). If the loan is secured by a mortgage, the bank can initiate proceedings under the SARFAESI Act (Securitisation and Reconstruction of Financial Assets and Enforcement of Security Interest Act) to recover their dues, which may ultimately lead to property auction. Therefore, it's crucial to address the default promptly through either payment or restructuring to avoid these serious consequences.

Well, if you are getting harrassed, abused, beaten or/and threatened continuosly by Loan Recovery Agents, you can lodge a Complaint with RBI, Banking Ombudsman, Finance Ministry. Parallely, lodge a Police Complaint and try to get that Complaint converted into a FIR against such Loan Recovery Agents.
