Everything a Madhya Pradesh borrower needs to know about OTS Settlement

The OTS landscape in Madhya Pradesh

OTS outcomes in Madhya Pradesh typically settle at 45–65% of the outstanding principal for viable secured exposures, with lower recovery bands for older, doubtful accounts. The exact discount depends on collateral coverage, Bank of India/Central Bank of India recovery policy and the age of the NPA. Bank of India and Central Bank of India publish periodic non-discretionary OTS windows; SBI tends to negotiate case-by-case above ₹1 Cr.

Sanctioning authority — which forum approves your OTS

Small NPAs (typically under ₹25 lakh) get sanctioned at the branch; mid-size at the circle-level SARB; exposures above ₹5–10 Cr usually go to Zonal Committee or Board. In Madhya Pradesh, Bank of India's SARB sits at Bhopal for larger exposures.

Anonymised outcomes — recent settlements in Madhya Pradesh

Case A: Bhopal-based Indore MSME, Bank of India exposure ₹1.8 Cr, NPA since 2022 — OTS approved at 52% (₹94 L) with 25% down and 9-month tail. Case B: Indore-based Malwa unit, Central Bank of India exposure ₹68 L, doubtful — OTS approved at 41% with 100% payment inside 90 days.

What can derail an OTS in Madhya Pradesh

Common derailers: unpaid statutory dues (GST/PF/ESIC) that trigger wilful-defaulter examination; ongoing SARFAESI auction that reduces the bank's incentive to settle; wilful-defaulter tag under the July 2024 RBI Master Direction. Our diagnostic flags each of these before we file.
