You have a copy of the loan agreement with you. See what is written in it.

If you do not have the copy of the agreement, then go to the bank and ask them to show the agreement and verify. It is not necessary that the same Manager/person who was there at the time of sanctioning the loan should be present now also, unless he informed you orally, while something else is in writing. That you should have noticed on the first time when the first instalment was being paid by you.

In the loan agreement they havent mentioned the % they only mentioned the monthly EMI that i have to repay.i didnt calculate that time. Is it possible to ask for the recorded call ?

Who has recorded the call?

In any case, if no % is mentioned in the agreement copy available with you, it means that they have filled it up. Therefore, you have to necessarily examine the document with the bank to find out the % interest mentioned in the agreement.

Thank you for your quick response sir!!!. I believe all the calls are recoreded lines in banks. If i ask for them to retrieve all the calls between me and the execetive ..is it possible? I can see in my netbanking - loan tab section..13% interest..but not mentioned in my letter. Not sure if this is too late and nothing we can do now and ending up paying 25k more.

The calls may/may not be recorded.

The drop down/tab in your netbanking a/c is not in your control.

You can take screenshots/printouts.

You may retrieve from your record documents pertaining to loan brochure, loan offer, loan agreement, loan sanction, loan statements and discuss in person with a very able senior LOCAL counsel of unshakable repute and integrity specializing in civil/consumer matters and well versed with latest citations, LOCAL applicable rules/laws/ … and having successful track record…. and worth his/her salt…..and show the documents/evidence for a considered opinion..

At each location three are some counsels that specialize in such matters and they are well known.

Check for such counsels at LOCAL civil courts, HC……

Your LOCAL counsel/CA may also help to calculate from the EMI the %

In future keep all related documents..

Also note that lender is under obligation to provide authenticated copies of such docs..

GO thru guidelines issued by regulator RBI, Watchdogs like BCSBI,IBA

You may try on your own with bank/banker and may or may not get the desired relief..

Dear Depak nair,

The Enchanced Rate of interest that you have notices may be on account of 2 reasons

A fluctations in Rate of Interst as per the directions of the RBI from time to time, which is callled " Floating Rate of Intrest"
It is possible the enchansment is due on the account of Default in the Payment of EMI.

Kind Regards,
