Step 1 — Account assessment

Pull loan statement, NPA classification date, prior offers, security valuation and HDFC Bank's internal sanctioning matrix.

Step 2 — Document collection

Income / business records, ITR, bank statements, hardship narrative, source-of-funds plan.

Step 3 — Proposal drafting

Financial justification + comparable settlements + payment schedule, in HDFC Bank's preferred format.

Step 4 — Negotiation

2–4 rounds of counter-offers, escalations up the sanctioning matrix.

Step 5 — Bank review

Committee meeting / circle office / head office sanction.

Step 6 — Sanction letter

Issued with payment terms, validity period and security release conditions.

Step 7 — Payment

Lump-sum or phased payment within sanction validity.

Step 8 — Settlement completion
