What does an NPA consultant charge in Bihar?

We charge a diagnostic fee (fixed) for the first 7 days plus a resolution retainer keyed to the exposure size. There is no success fee on Board-approved OTS.

Can an NPA consultant stop a SBI SARFAESI notice?

Not directly — the notice cannot be withdrawn, but a well-drafted 13(3A) reply plus a viable OTS proposal typically freezes further coercive action. Our diagnostic tells you if that path is realistic in your case.

Do I still need a DRT lawyer if I engage an NPA consultant?

Yes for actual filings — we coordinate with panel advocates at DRT Patna. Consultant + advocate is the standard split of work.

How long does an NPA resolution take in Bihar?

Typical timelines: OTS 3–6 months, restructuring 4–9 months, DRT Section 17 SA interim order 3–8 months. Full closure and NDC receipt: 6–18 months depending on lender.

Is DRT Patna the only DRT for Bihar and Jharkhand?

No — Jharkhand matters go to DRT Ranchi. Bihar and Jharkhand are separate DRT jurisdictions.

What is the typical OTS band for a Bihar rice-miller NPA?

PSU banks typically approve 55–70% recovery on principal for viable millers; declining units may see up to 40% discount with Board approval.

How active is Patna HC on SARFAESI writs?

Patna HC entertains writs primarily for jurisdictional/procedural defects — Satyawati Tondon threshold applies for pricing disputes.

Does Dakshin Bihar Gramin Bank publish OTS bands?

Yes — as an RRB sponsored by Punjab National Bank, DBGB follows the NABARD framework with published bands for accounts under ₹25 lakh.

Everything a Bihar borrower needs to know about NPA Consultant

Why borrowers in Bihar need a specialist NPA consultant

Bihar's NPA docket is PSU-heavy with retail-loan concentration — small-ticket cash-credit and agri-processing accounts drive the volume rather than large exposures. A borrower facing NPA in Bihar is typically fighting a combined action — SARFAESI 13(2) notice from the bank, possible DRT filing, and mounting default interest. Our advisory role is to convert that pressure into a structured, defendable resolution before it escalates to a public auction. Sector focus: Rice & agri-processing; Retail MSME trade; Real estate (Patna).

Lenders we handle in Bihar

Active in the state and covered under our advisory: SBI, Punjab National Bank, Bank of India, Bank of Baroda, Central Bank of India, Dakshin Bihar Gramin Bank. Each lender has its own OTS matrix, delegation limits and Board-approval trigger; SBI's circle office typically routes exposures above ₹5 Cr to its zonal Stressed Asset Recovery Branch (SARB).

Our diagnostic — first 7 days

Day 1–2: exposure mapping across SBI and Punjab National Bank plus other lenders. Day 3–4: IRAC classification and DPD review against the RBI IRAC Circular (SMA-0 / SMA-1 / SMA-2 / NPA / Doubtful / Loss). Day 5–7: strategy memo with OTS band, SARFAESI-defence timeline and DRT counter-claim viability. Deliverable: written strategy note you can present to your Board or family.

Coordination with the DRT Patna bench

DRT Patna is the single bench serving Bihar. We coordinate with empanelled advocates at DRT Patna for Section 17 Securitisation Applications, stay applications and cross-Original Applications where the bank has filed for recovery.
