- Aggressive first offerWhy RBL rejects: RBL Bank's committee benchmarks against realisable valueHow to fix: Anchor at 55–65% of principal for secured with fresh valuation
- Weak source-of-funds planWhy RBL rejects: Committee discounts unsupported source claimsHow to fix: Attach audit-trail funding — loan sanction, sale MoU or bank statement
- Wilful default flagWhy RBL rejects: RBI Master Direction 2024 needs additional Board approvalHow to fix: Contest classification separately
- Missing hardship narrativeWhy RBL rejects: Committee note requires a 'why'How to fix: 1–2 page written narrative with dated events
- Documentation gapsWhy RBL rejects: Committee cannot decide on incomplete fileHow to fix: Submit complete file at filing
