sir I think that compromise is good option ?

OD account a regular monthly Interest charged and debited from the saving account of the customer. OD account can be renewed every year on provided payment. In these circumstances there is no issue bank will insist for refund the complete amount immediately. In most cases OD account is secured account with security pledged to the bank. Considering all these I don't think any problem dealing with the bank.

OD is always linked to stocks and a limit is against margins on stock. Closing business without repaying the amount is criminal as the understanding as per agreement is that he should not draw the amount more than the prescribed margins on stocks. This amount must be repaid. Compromise etc., may step only if there is no adequate collateral security and third party guarantee. Now Banks are directly proceeding for recovery through sale of property by following laid down procedure. To my knowledge, no bank spares a fraud and permit any concessions when there is immovable collateral security.

It depends on the Bank Recovery Team decisions If Bank Manager is tough, he can file criminal complaint to Police for cheating and criminal beach of trust and also attach properties in the name of borrower, though not offered as securities for this OD. The same extends to Guarantors also and Guarantors properties can be attached and there is no need to go to court.

thanks sir , please tell me what is procedure of compromise and what is the effect in future after compromise .

The bank must be worried, and if they are not taking any steps means whereabouts are not known or officers are lethargic in recovering public money.

Meet concerned manager at his branch. Express your difficulties convincing them of your genuine incapability. Do not commit any thing or sign. Speak to other relatives/friends on proposal of Bank. Sort it out through negotiations.

A has negotiated with bank manager and recovery agent and bank and recovery agent offered that they need only principle amount and interest will be waived. But A can arrange only 2lk or 3lk and principle amount is 10lk . He has already deposited 2lk in OD account. Is there any option for 50-50 compromise according to law.

G.L.N. Prasad (Retired employee.) 30 March 2018

So far there is no such law for compromises wherein borrower willing to pay 50% principle and praying for 50% of principal and total interest waiver.. No court can interfere and order the Bank to accept to whatever it is thrown before them , as the Bank's money is public money.

Adv Param Hansh Yadav (BBA LL.B ( Practice at Rohini District Court Tis Hazari Courts Karkardooma Courts & Dwarka District Court)) 30 March 2018

is there any option for granting a suitable period of time to pay total amount by law ?

G.L.N. Prasad (Retired employee.) 30 March 2018

Try through Lok Adalat and it is the one alternative. But, Bank may be having it's own information system on credit worthiness and borrowers outside worth, and that is the reason they are remaining silent. Court can no way involve in these transactions. Bank has already lost lakhs of interest, which is agains public money.
