Quick Summary

This discussion explores whether a formal legal notice is a mandatory prerequisite before a bank can file a commercial recovery suit. While some opinions suggest it's always required, others clarify that it's generally not mandatory unless specific laws apply, such as cases involving government entities or dishonoured cheques under the SARFAESI Act. The consensus leans towards notice not being a universal requirement for standard money recovery cases.

You need to send notice before initiating suit.

T. Kalaiselvan, Advocate (Expert) 01 April 2023
It is mandatory that a Statutory legal demand notice is to be sent by the lender to the borrower before filing the money recovery suit.

It is never mandatory to send legal notice for demand to opposite party before filing money suit against him.

In the instant case you are a borrower and the Bank must have issued notice to recall of loan, recheck Bank records.

In no case Bank shall file suit for recovery before issuance of notice(s) to defaulter, which are subject to regular scrutiny and audit.

A commercial suit shall be instituted against borrower for outstanding amount between Rs. 3 lakh to pecuniary jurisdiction of District Courts in terms of section 3 of the Commercial Courts, Commercial Division and Commercial Appellate Division of High Courts (Amendment) Act, 2018

where in writing ...which law says mandatory legal Notice before filing recovery commercial suit

I opine that no mandatory requirement to issue notice before filing a money suit except for a government employee.
Section 80 of the Code of Civil Procedure holds that a legal notice is to be issued if the opposite party to the suit is government. That is if a government official has violated a person’s right, such a person must issue a legal notice before moving to the court. In case of dishonor of cheque, legal notice is to be sent. In debt recovery procedures, a legal notice is to be served to the defaulter in accordance with the provisions of the Securitisation and Reconstruction of Financial Assets and Enforcement of Securities Interest Act, 2002 (SARFAESI Act). The employer must send legal notice to the employee if he deprives the employee of his salary in any way.
Other than these, in money recovery cases and cases relating to partition, eviction, etc., legal notice is to be sent. Notice is only optional, not mandatory.

To my knowledge, such Notices are not mandatory unless it is a case covered by Section 80 of the CPC.
