Documents required for a ICICI Bank loan settlement
ICICI Bank's recovery committee decides on documents, not on calls. This is the full checklist for a ICICI OTS filing — organised by document class, with the ICICI 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
- Business: GST 12 months + audited financials 3 years + debtors ageing
- Personal / Card: latest CIBIL + hardship narrative + salary / income proof

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.

Documentation is where ICICI rejects most files. These are the exact reasons pulled from committee notes we've reviewed.
- Below realisable-value floorWhy ICICI rejects: ICICI benchmarks against SARFAESI reserve valueHow to fix: Anchor at 65–75% of principal for secured; back with fresh valuation
- Missing comparable-settlement citationsWhy ICICI rejects: Committee likes precedent referencesHow to fix: Cite ICICI's own prior comparable OTS in the proposal
- Cross-account exposureWhy ICICI rejects: Related-party NPAs trigger consolidated viewHow to fix: File consolidated OTS covering all related exposures
- Weak source-of-funds planWhy ICICI rejects: ICICI's committee wants audit-trail fundingHow to fix: Attach loan sanction / sale agreement / bank statement
- Late DRT proceedingsWhy ICICI rejects: ICICI insists on consent terms if DRT activeHow to fix: Prepare consent terms alongside OTS filing
