Karur Vysya Bank NPA resolution — the four paths

If your Karur Vysya Bank loan is NPA, four resolution paths exist: One Time Settlement, restructuring, ARC takeover, or contesting through SARFAESI / DRT. This guide explains how each plays out inside Karur Vysya Bank — driven by KVB's actual recovery machinery, not generic textbook theory.

How Karur Vysya Bank recovery actually works

Bank process
Karur Vysya 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 Karur Vysya 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
Karur Vysya Bank counsel typically pushes for a DRC — settle before DRC to avoid execution.
Auction prevention
Interim stay under Section 17 + sanctioned OTS.
Restructuring route
Available for viable MSMEs under RBI's Prudential Framework (Jun-2019).
OTS strategy
Twin-track OTS + SARFAESI defence; sanction level depends on exposure per Karur Vysya Bank's matrix.

Why cases like these get rejected at KVB

The KVB committee patterns behind rejected OTS proposals. Fixing these upfront changes the outcome.

  • Aggressive first offer
    Why KVB rejects: Karur Vysya Bank's committee benchmarks against realisable value
    How to fix: Anchor at 55–65% of principal for secured with fresh valuation
  • Weak source-of-funds plan
    Why KVB rejects: Committee discounts unsupported source claims
    How to fix: Attach audit-trail funding — loan sanction, sale MoU or bank statement
  • Wilful default flag
    Why KVB rejects: RBI Master Direction 2024 needs additional Board approval
    How to fix: Contest classification separately
  • Missing hardship narrative
    Why KVB rejects: Committee note requires a 'why'
    How to fix: 1–2 page written narrative with dated events
  • Documentation gaps
    Why KVB rejects: Committee cannot decide on incomplete file
    How to fix: Submit complete file at filing

How KVB compares
