Drafted OTS proposal keyed to the sanctioning authority's format (branch / SARB / zonal / Board).
Negotiation and rework across 2–3 rounds with the bank's recovery officer.
Post-approval monitoring — down payment, milestone payments and NDC issuance.
CIBIL / CIC report closure and 'settled' → 'closed' correction where the terms permit.

Everything a Telangana borrower needs to know about OTS Settlement

The OTS landscape in Telangana

OTS outcomes in Telangana 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, SBI/Union Bank recovery policy and the age of the NPA. SBI and Union Bank publish periodic non-discretionary OTS windows; Canara Bank 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 Telangana, SBI's SARB sits at Hyderabad for larger exposures.

Anonymised outcomes — recent settlements in Telangana

Case A: Hyderabad-based Pharma MSME, SBI exposure ₹1.8 Cr, NPA since 2022 — OTS approved at 52% (₹94 L) with 25% down and 9-month tail. Case B: Warangal-based Hyderabad unit, Union Bank exposure ₹68 L, doubtful — OTS approved at 41% with 100% payment inside 90 days.

What can derail an OTS in Telangana

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.
