Frequently Asked Questions

The Debt Recovery Tribunal (DRT) is a special judicial authority that deals exclusively with cases related to the recovery of debts owed to banks and financial institutions. It was established to ensure faster resolution of loan default and recovery disputes.

Banks, financial institutions, and Non-Banking Financial Companies (NBFCs) can file cases before the DRT if the amount of debt due is ₹20 lakh or more. Borrowers or guarantors may also approach the tribunal to challenge actions taken by lenders under laws such as the SARFAESI Act.

DRT primarily handles cases related to loan defaults, mortgage enforcement, debt recovery, asset possession, and sale proceedings initiated under the SARFAESI Act or RDDBFI Act. It also hears appeals and counterclaims from borrowers.

The DRAT is the appellate body where parties can appeal against the orders passed by the DRT. It reviews the legality and fairness of DRT’s decisions and provides relief where necessary.

Our firm provides end-to-end legal support, including filing or defending DRT applications, representing clients in hearings, managing SARFAESI proceedings, handling appeals before DRAT, and negotiating settlements between lenders and borrowers.
