Everything a Ahmedabad borrower needs to know about DRT / DRAT Lawyer

DRT Ahmedabad, Ashram Road — filing and hearing realities

First-hearing turnaround at DRT Ahmedabad, Ashram Road averages 4–8 weeks for OA and 3–6 weeks for SA. Pendency and roster rotation affect assignment. Written statements should be filed within 30 days.

Pre-deposit strategy for DRAT appeal

Section 18 SARFAESI and Section 21 RDDBFI both require deposit of a portion of the debt before appeal is heard on merits — usually 25% to 50%. In Ahmedabad matters, DRAT applications for waiver / reduction succeed only on demonstrated hardship.

Guarantor liability strategy in Ahmedabad

Bank of Baroda, SBI, HDFC Bank routinely proceed against personal guarantors in parallel with corporate defaulters. Reconstituting the guarantee timeline and demonstrating discharge under Sections 133–139 Contract Act is often the strongest defence.

NCLT coordination

IBC proceedings at NCLT Ahmedabad Bench run parallel to DRT — moratorium under Section 14 IBC applies only to the corporate debtor, not personal guarantors, and only halts DRT proceedings against the corporate debtor. We coordinate to prevent contradictory orders.
