Bandhan Bank Loan Settlement: Documents Checklist

Documents required for a Bandhan Bank loan settlement

Bandhan Bank's recovery committee decides on documents, not on calls. This is the full checklist for a Bandhan OTS filing — organised by document class, with the Bandhan Bank-specific paperwork required at each stage.

• Loan sanction letter and latest account statement
• NPA classification letter from the bank
• PAN, Aadhaar, address proof (KYC)
• Last 3 years' Income Tax Returns
• Audited financials — 3 years (for business borrowers)
• Bank statements — last 12 months of the borrower's operating account
• Written hardship narrative (1–2 pages)
• Source-of-funds plan for the proposed settlement

• SARFAESI Section 13(2) demand notice (if issued)
• SARFAESI Section 13(4) possession notice (if issued)
• DRT Original Application copy (if OA filed)
• Any recovery-agent legal notice or arbitration reference
• Board resolution / power of attorney (companies, LLPs, partnerships)

• Home / LAP: title deed + latest valuation from bank-empanelled valuer
• Business / MSME: 3-year audited financials + 12-month GST + stock/debtors ageing
• Personal / Card: latest CIBIL + income proof + hardship narrative

Documents required per Bandhan loan product

Product-level document requirements at Bandhan Bank. Bring the right file to the first meeting — Bandhan committees will not open a case with incomplete paperwork.

Bandhan Bank sanction letter — what to check before signing

• Sanction validity period on the Bandhan Bank letter (typically 30–45 days)
• Confirmation of settlement amount, payment schedule and default clause
• Security release clause — mortgage / hypothecation / lien to be lifted
• CIBIL reporting language — should say 'Settled' with account closure date
• Escalation path if Bandhan misses NOC within 30 days of full payment

Common Bandhan documentation pitfalls

Bandhan Bank rejects roughly one in three OTS files at the documentation stage. The four most common gaps:

• Missing NPA classification letter from Bandhan — needed to anchor the sacrifice calculation.
• Property valuation older than 12 months — Bandhan insists on a fresh empanelled valuation.
• Source-of-funds without documentary trail — Bandhan committees discount unsupported claims.
• Missing hardship narrative — required in the Bandhan committee note.

Bandhan case studies — anonymised timelines & outcomes

Cases where correct Bandhan documentation moved the file from stuck to sanctioned. Each card shows what was on file, how long committee approval took, and the final settled position.

Client names and identifying details are anonymised. Amounts rounded. Outcomes reflect approved Bandhan settlements handled by NPA Experts and do not guarantee similar results — every case turns on documentation and committee discretion.
