Lend money to a friend how can I recover it


01-Apr-2023 (In Recovery Law)

how to get a proof that I have lend money to someone.? I have lend money to a friend and he is not returning the money on time. He is still a friend so I can tell him to sign on something that he has lend money from me. So that later in future if he refuses to give money I can do something about it or if something happens to him I can still get money from his family.

Hi. You can get agreement drafted between yourself and your friend.
So that incase he refuses we can file a civil suit under Order XXXVII, CPC, 1908 for recovering the amount lent to your friend.
For further clarifications please get in touch.

From your querry it appers to me that you have got signed a promissory note from your friend. Limitation for recovery money is 3 years. You need to clearify the mode of lending money. Whether it was through any banking trasnaction if not try get issued a cheque from him in your favour. So that you may have strong possibility of recovering the loan amount. Otherwise you can go for suit for recovery of money which is a civil procedure.
