  • 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
Legal notices & filings (ICICI)
  • 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)

ICICI Bank sanction letter — what to check before signing

  • Sanction validity period on the ICICI 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 ICICI misses NOC within 30 days of full payment

Common ICICI documentation pitfalls

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

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

Why cases like these get rejected at ICICI

Documentation is where ICICI rejects most files. These are the exact reasons pulled from committee notes we've reviewed.

  • Below realisable-value floor
    Why ICICI rejects: ICICI benchmarks against SARFAESI reserve value
    How to fix: Anchor at 65–75% of principal for secured; back with fresh valuation
  • Missing comparable-settlement citations
    Why ICICI rejects: Committee likes precedent references
    How to fix: Cite ICICI's own prior comparable OTS in the proposal
  • Cross-account exposure
    Why ICICI rejects: Related-party NPAs trigger consolidated view
    How to fix: File consolidated OTS covering all related exposures
  • Weak source-of-funds plan
    Why ICICI rejects: ICICI's committee wants audit-trail funding
    How to fix: Attach loan sanction / sale agreement / bank statement
  • Late DRT proceedings
    Why ICICI rejects: ICICI insists on consent terms if DRT active
    How to fix: Prepare consent terms alongside OTS filing
