Everything a Gujarat borrower needs to know about NPA Consultant

Why borrowers in Gujarat need a specialist NPA consultant

Gujarat's NPAs cluster around export-facing MSME clusters — Surat diamonds and Morbi ceramics dominate SARFAESI dockets, especially post-2023 slowdown in global demand. A borrower facing NPA in Gujarat 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: Surat diamond & textile; Morbi ceramics; Jamnagar brass parts.

Lenders we handle in Gujarat

Active in the state and covered under our advisory: Bank of Baroda, SBI, HDFC Bank, ICICI Bank, Axis Bank, Kotak Mahindra. Each lender has its own OTS matrix, delegation limits and Board-approval trigger; Bank of Baroda'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 Bank of Baroda and SBI 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 Ahmedabad (I, II) bench

Two DRT benches at Ahmedabad cover the entire state including Surat, Vadodara, Rajkot and Bhavnagar borrowers. We coordinate with empanelled advocates at DRT Ahmedabad (I, II) for Section 17 Securitisation Applications, stay applications and cross-Original Applications where the bank has filed for recovery.
