What kills a proposal

Why IndusInd Bank rejects OTS proposals — and how to fix each one

Six specific failure modes we see at IndusInd Bank's committees, with the counter-move for each.

Aggressive first offer

IndusInd Bank's committee benchmarks against realisable value

Fix: Anchor at 55–65% of principal for secured with fresh valuation

Weak source-of-funds plan

Committee discounts unsupported source claims

Fix: Attach audit-trail funding — loan sanction, sale MoU or bank statement

Wilful default flag

RBI Master Direction 2024 needs additional Board approval

Fix: Contest classification separately

Missing hardship narrative

Committee note requires a 'why'

Fix: 1–2 page written narrative with dated events

Documentation gaps

Committee cannot decide on incomplete file

Fix: Submit complete file at filing
IndusInd playbook

Recovery strategy — the IndusInd Bank-specific approach

How senior counsel typically approach each dimension of a IndusInd Bank recovery matter.

Bank recovery process

IndusInd Bank recovery is centralised at Regional and Central Recovery Committees.

Negotiation strategy

Anchor at realisable value under SARFAESI (auction reserve 90% of reserve price); reference IndusInd Bank's own comparable OTS.

Legal options

SARFAESI defence via 13(3A) representation + DRT-SA under Section 17.

SARFAESI strategy

In-time 13(3A) reply within 15 days; DRT-SA if 13(4) issued.

DRT strategy

IndusInd Bank counsel typically pushes for a DRC — settle before DRC to avoid execution.

Auction prevention

Interim stay under Section 17 + sanctioned OTS.

Restructuring

Available for viable MSMEs under RBI's Prudential Framework (Jun-2019).

OTS strategy

Twin-track OTS + SARFAESI defence; sanction level depends on exposure per IndusInd Bank's matrix.

Regulatory framework

RBI circulars & master directions affecting IndusInd Bank

The regulatory backbone every OTS proposal is scrutinised against.
