FAQs

Frequently asked questions

Straightforward answers on NPA settlement, OTS, SARFAESI, DRT and loan restructuring in India.

What does NPA Experts do?+

NPA Experts is an India-wide advisory platform for NPA settlement, loan settlement, One Time Settlement (OTS), SARFAESI defence, DRT representation and loan restructuring. We work with individuals, MSMEs, companies, guarantors and property owners to negotiate with banks, NBFCs and ARCs.

What is a non performing asset (NPA)?+

A non performing asset is a loan on which the borrower has not paid interest or principal for 90 days or more. Once classified, banks can issue a SARFAESI 13(2) notice, escalate to possession, DRT proceedings, or sell the account to an ARC.

What is a One Time Settlement (OTS)?+

A One Time Settlement is a lump-sum, discounted payoff of an NPA account approved by a bank OTS committee. Typical OTS ranges sit between 40%–75% of outstanding depending on security, ageing, and the lender's board-approved policy.

How much can I settle my loan for?+

There is no fixed percentage. Real-world OTS outcomes depend on asset security, borrower conduct, ageing bucket (substandard/doubtful/loss), realisable value of collateral, and the bank's internal committee delegation. Our OTS Calculator gives an evidence-based indicative range.

I received a SARFAESI 13(2) notice — what should I do?+

You have 60 days from the notice date to file a written representation under Section 13(3A). Missing this window makes it far harder to contest possession under Section 13(4). Engage counsel immediately and, in parallel, open an OTS or restructuring track.

Can I stop a bank auction of my property?+

Yes — through a Securitisation Application (SA) before the Debts Recovery Tribunal under Section 17 of the SARFAESI Act, an interim stay, or a sanctioned OTS proposal. Timing is critical; auction notices under Rule 8/9 have short statutory windows.

What is the difference between loan settlement and loan restructuring?+

Settlement (including OTS) closes the account at a discounted payoff — the loan is fully settled and a No-Dues Certificate is issued. Restructuring extends tenor, revises rates or grants a moratorium so the loan continues on revised terms without settlement.

Will settlement affect my CIBIL score?+

Settled accounts are usually reported as 'Settled' rather than 'Closed', which does impact your credit profile in the short term. With structured resolution — full closure letter, no-dues certificate and bureau follow-up — the profile can rebuild over 24–36 months.

How long does an NPA resolution typically take?+

Simple retail OTS: 2–4 months. Complex MSME/corporate OTS: 4–9 months. DRT-driven matters: 9–24 months depending on tribunal load. We plan every engagement around statutory timelines, not open-ended calendars.

Do you work with all banks and NBFCs?+

Yes. We cover public-sector banks (SBI, PNB, BoB, Canara, Union, BoI, Indian Bank, IOB), private banks (HDFC, ICICI, Axis, Kotak, IndusInd, Yes, IDFC First, Federal), leading NBFCs and empanelled ARCs.

Which cities do you serve?+

Advisory is delivered pan-India. We have dedicated resolution playbooks and empanelled tribunal counsel across Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Chennai, Ahmedabad, Pune, Chandigarh, Jaipur, Lucknow and 25+ other cities.

Is the consultation confidential?+

Yes. Every case is handled under an implicit NDA. Information is shared strictly on a need-to-know basis and is never disclosed to third parties without written consent.

How do fees work?+

Fees are transparent and case-specific — quoted upfront after a free case review. There are no opaque commissions from banks, NBFCs or ARCs. You always know what you are paying and what you are getting.
