The most common scene of the financial institutions (Banks / societies etc):
"The borrower's account has become NPA, the cheque given by the borrower has bounced, even as guarantor your checque dated xxx has bounced and so as guarantor your are asked to deposit xx amount within 15 days otherwise legal proceedings wait for you u/s 138".
My questions to this common scene are:
(1) Has any time borrower refused to repay? or as lending institution have they obtained in writing from borrower that he can not pay?
(2)As being the guarantor was I any time informed in writing that borrower is not been able to pay so at the earliest as being guarantor I must clear the dues otherwise the legal action against the guarantor as deemed fit will be taken?
(3)Are the banks authorised by some authorities that even without written notice about the due payment and to deposit it, the guarantor may be sued against u/s 138?
(4)Are not these financial institutions liable to inform guarantor in writing about measures taken by institutions for recovery of dues from the borrower?
(5)Are the institutions lawful in their actions?
regards
please advice as your opinion going to help many who are suffering as guarantors.

1. interest calculated on loan amount by credit coop society is flat or reducing.
2. the overdue interest is charged on EMI or principal or only interest part of EMI e.g. if EMI is 47777 where 27777 is principal and 20000 is interest, then OD interest should be calculated on 47777 or 27777 or on 20000.

Guarantor in a secured loan
hello there once again
i am standing as a guarantor against the secured loan (house loan where house has been mortgaged to the bank).
few days ago i received a letter saying that loan has over due and it shall be cleared.
my question is in such case how do i defense myself because, the property was mortgaged to bank that is why loan was sanctioned, then why not bank auctions the property and other assets of creditor to recover loan then look at me to recover rest of amount as guarantor.
what shall be my defense?
