- Weak source-of-funds planWhy IOB rejects: Committee discounts unsupported source claimsHow to fix: Attach audit-trail funding — loan sanction, sale MoU or bank statement
- Wilful default flagWhy IOB rejects: RBI Master Direction 2024 needs additional Board approvalHow to fix: Contest classification separately
- Missing hardship narrativeWhy IOB rejects: Committee note requires a 'why'How to fix: 1–2 page written narrative with dated events
