The debt-collecting method is adherence to compliance with debt recovery laws and regulations. The rules, which differ from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, aim to shield debtors from abusive or harassing practices by establishing rigorous guidelines for fair treatment, open communication, and dispute resolution. Following these rules is not only required by law but also protects a business's finances and image because breaking them can result in serious fines and legal repercussions. Any organization involved in debt recovery must be informed and follow best practices in the constantly changing world of financial rules.

Compliance with Debt Recovery Laws and Indian regulations

The following are the main laws in India that allow creditors to recover debts and compliance with debt recovery laws accordingly

Recovery of Debts as Per the RDBFI Act of 1993 Concerning Banks and Financial Institutions

Due to this statute, debts owed to banks and other financial institutions can now be recovered by the Debts Recovery Appellate Tribunals (DRAT) and Debts Recovery Tribunals (DRT).

The SARFAESI Act of 2002 pertains to the securitization, reconstruction, and enforcement of security interests.

This law aims to establish a central asset database where security interests can be registered. The competent authorities in the district where the collateral is located aided the SARFAESI-selected secured creditors in assuming control of the collateral properties.

Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016 (IBC)

This law was passed to bring together the various laws pertaining to debt recovery and the legally defined process for a debtor to declare bankruptcy if they cannot pay their outstanding debts. In addition, the IBC divided creditors into two primary groups: financial creditors, whose connection to the debtor is only established by a financial contract, and operational creditors, whose connection to the debtor is established by a transactional agreement based on the execution of an operation. In the committee of creditors, which is constituted to handle the debt resulting from the debtor's declaration of insolvency or bankruptcy, financial creditors also have membership and voting rights.

The Bankruptcy and Bankruptcy Code (IBC) imposes additional responsibilities on financial creditors, including the designation of a resolution professional to supervise the bankruptcy resolution procedure following the provision of financial data as evidence of debt. The National Company Law Appellate Tribunal (NCLAT) may hear cases arising under the IBC after they are handled by the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT).

Enforcement of Security Interest and Recovery of Debts Laws and Miscellaneous Provisions (Amendment) Act, 2016 (ESIRDA Act)

The SARFAESI Act, the RDBFI Act, the Stamp Act, and the Depositories Act have all had several clauses amended by the enactment of this law. Aside from restructuring the tribunal hierarchy, the statute also extended the DRTs' jurisdictions. Additionally, the statute prohibited defendants from moving relevant assets after receiving a notification. Both the definition of a "secured creditor" and the applicability of SARFAESI were expanded to cover debenture trustees. Apart from providing for the electronic filing of documents, the ESIRDA Act also exempted instruments for asset reconstruction from stamp duty payment.

Methods of Debt Recovery

Indian law offers several avenues for bringing legal action to recoup any debt that has been accumulated. The following examines the most popular techniques

Starting legal proceedings in accordance with the Indian Penal Code (IPC)

In some particular cases, the aggrieved party may employ this procedure by filing cases under the following sections

Section 406: Criminal breach of trust

Section 417: Punishment for Cheating

Section 420: Cheating and dishonestly inducing delivery of property

Section 426: Punishment for mischief

Summary Suit in accordance with Civil Procedure Code, 1908 (CPC) Order XXXVII

Order 37 of CPC permits a creditor to bring a summary lawsuit. When a summary action is filed, the court considers the plaintiff's claims to be genuine unless the defendant appears in person or presents a strong defence within ten days of the complaint being filed. When there is a possibility of legal penalties based on the debt's cause of action or when the amount of the debt is unclear, a summary suit cannot be filed.

Bringing a civil lawsuit in accordance with Order IV of CPC

These cases may be filed in the relevant court of jurisdiction in accordance with the Commercial Courts Act 2015.

Starting legal proceedings in accordance with the 1881 Negotiable Instruments Act (NI Act)

This approach is employed when it comes to recovering money from payment instruments like checks and bills. The NI Act's Section 138 establishes the framework for starting legal action in cases of returned checks, along with precise deadlines and restrictions for each stage.

The Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996

Usually, to recover debts that have accumulated as a consequence of business contracts.

Frequently Asked Questions

INDIA'S DEBT RECOVERY LAWS

Banks and Financial Institutions Recovery of Debts Act (RDDBFI Act), 1993.

The Enforcement of Security Interest and Recovery of Debts Laws and Miscellaneous Provisions.

 

The Recovery of Debts Due to Banks and Financial Institutions is governed by the RDDBFI Act 1993. Under this statute, the injured party may be a financial institution, such as a bank or non-banking financial company (NBFC). The establishment of specialized tribunals to hear cases concerning money recovery is made possible by this law.

The Debt Recovery Tribunals (DRTs) and Debt Recovery Appellate Tribunals (DRATs) were established under the RDB Act of 1993 to expeditiously resolve disputes and collect debts owing to banks and financial institutions.

The practice of obtaining payments from people or companies that owe money to a creditor is known as debt recovery. This challenging and time-consuming process frequently calls for the use of particular skills and knowledge. Creditors can pursue debt recovery in a number of ways.

Debt Recovery Tribunal is the complete name of the following applications: OA (Original Application), SA (Securitization Application), IA (Interlocutory Application), and MA (Miscellaneous Application).

The Debt Recovery Act stipulates that breaking debt recovery laws may result in imprisonment, a fine, or both. The Act also has a clause that stipulates that violation of debt recovery regulations can result in a fine of ₹1 lakh and a maximum two-year jail sentence.

The Department of Financial Services (DFS) has increased the threshold for filing cases against non-compliant borrowers in debt recovery tribunals (DRTs) from Rs 10 lakh to Rs 20 lakh, even as it gets ready to switch to an electronic DRT system.

Credit card debt and loans, such as mortgages, vehicle loans, and personal loans, are the most prevalent types of debt. Most loan agreements provide the borrower with a certain sum of money that they must pay back in full by a specific date, perhaps months or years in the future.

Within 30 days of the order date, a request for an appeal against a Recovery Officer's decision to DRT may be made. The claim must be resolved by the tribunals in six months. The only time a 45-day window exists for appealing a DRT judgement is to the Debt Recovery Appellate Tribunal (DRAT).

Debt is the amount of money you owe a person or company. That's when you have financial obligations to repay loans. When someone doesn't have enough money to pay for something they need or want, they typically borrow it. It's advisable to have a repayment strategy if you decide to borrow money.

Justice Brijesh Sethi, a former Delhi High Court judge, will lead DRAT Delhi, while Justice Anil Kumar Srivastava, a former Allahabad High Court judge, has been confirmed to lead DRAT Kolkata. Former Kerala High Court judge Justice Ashok Menon will preside over the Mumbai tribunal.

In accordance with the DRT's order, the Presiding Officer will grant the Recovery Officer a certificate enabling them to collect the debt amount mentioned in it. The Recovery Officer may choose to attach, sell, or designate a receiver to oversee the defendant's assets in order to collect the debt.

There are 39 locations for debt collection tribunals and 5 locations for debt recovery appellate tribunals in India: Mumbai, Delhi, Kolkata, Allahabad, and Chennai.

Ministry of Finance Debt Recovery Tribunal | Department of Financial Services | Ministry of Finance | Government of India.

The Government of India has established Debts Recovery Tribunals and Debts Recovery Appellate Tribunals across the nation in accordance with the DRT Act, 1993. In the nation, 33 DRTs and 5 DRATs have been established thus far.
