Everything a Maharashtra borrower needs to know about NPA Consultant

Why borrowers in Maharashtra need a specialist NPA consultant

Maharashtra has the largest SARFAESI docket in India — MMR real estate developers, Marathwada sugar mills and Vidarbha textile MSMEs drive the bulk of secured NPA cases. A borrower facing NPA in Maharashtra 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: Textiles (Ichalkaranji, Bhiwandi); Sugar co-operatives; Real estate (MMR).

Lenders we handle in Maharashtra

Active in the state and covered under our advisory: SBI, Bank of Maharashtra, HDFC Bank, ICICI Bank, Axis Bank, Union Bank, Kotak Mahindra. 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 Bank of Maharashtra 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).
