The most common questions come from borrowers whose files were rejected once. Here's why BoI said no — and how each was fixed on the second attempt.
- Aggressive first offerWhy BoI rejects: Bank of India's committee benchmarks against realisable valueHow to fix: Anchor at 55–65% of principal for secured with fresh valuation
- Weak source-of-funds planWhy BoI rejects: Committee discounts unsupported source claimsHow to fix: Attach audit-trail funding — loan sanction, sale MoU or bank statement
- Wilful default flagWhy BoI rejects: RBI Master Direction 2024 needs additional Board approvalHow to fix: Contest classification separately
- Missing hardship narrativeWhy BoI rejects: Committee note requires a 'why'How to fix: 1–2 page written narrative with dated events
