The most common questions come from borrowers whose files were rejected once. Here's why ICICI said no — and how each was fixed on the second attempt.
- 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
