Loan Recovery without contract


19-Apr-2026 (In Recovery Law)
A friend took loan through me stating that he will return it to me by end of the month or the same day. Now he is not returning it, everytime gives me some reason and give me a new date. I think he is doing fraud with me. Can I record his calls? Will it be considered illegal? I don't want him to know about the call recording.

In Indian law, recording a call is not per se illegal if you are a party to the conversation. You can legally record your own calls without informing the other person, and such recordings can be used as evidence in court, subject to proof of authenticity and relevance.

yes you can record calls but they are not primary evidence you should have taken a promissory note and a contract agreement of the amount you have given on loan....but if you have done bank transaction than in that case you have proof of loan amount also now if he is giving fresh dates ask him for a post dated check of that amount and a promissory note
