NPA against a property which is not delivered by builder NPA against a property which is not delivered by builder

4 months ago

I have taken a under construction property in 2015 in subvention plan of Rs.27lacs because I was not able to pay house rent and emi. Builder has paid pre emi for appx 2 years, then stopped it. I have not given emi. Bank has declared it NPA. I have approached to RERA, they have issued RC on 2021. Flat is not complete and builder is declared insolvent. After 1 year I have registered in NCLT but nothing good happened so far. I have relocated to other city for job. No more interested in the property. Now got a authentication mail from NESL and the value of the loan is showing 1.3cr. Need advice how to proceed on that.

A.Dear Client,
Subvention schemes have put buyers in problems when developers stop making EMI payments, the banks approach the buyers to pay since they are the primary borrowers. A subvention plan might not be the best option if you are paying rent. This is because, if the developer fails to complete the project on schedule, you can be required to pay both rent and EMI. Subvention schemes significantly raise the property's overall cost, and in the event of a delay, you may pay more than the property's market price. Since you are the primary borrower under the tripartite arrangement, you are the one in default in this instance. Once the EMI against a loan is not repaid for consecutive 3 times by the borrower for any reason whatsoever, it is treated by the Bank as NPA. Accordingly, the Bank sends notice to the Borrower asking him/her for repayment of the entire dues lying against your loan offering suitable terms. In the absence of any response from the Borrower, the Bank started the routine process of action prescribed under relevant laws for recovery of debt lying outstanding against the Borrower. However, you may negotiate or settle your dues against loans by following the steps like lowering your interest rate, arranging for a reduced interest rate is one of the most common requests a defaulter borrower can make to the Bank, creating or restructuring a repayment plan or extending the tenure of repayment of a loan, looking for debt forgiveness. considering loan consolidation, offering a one-time settlement payment. Following these steps, you may write an application requesting for settlement of dues to the concerned Bank stating why you cannot repay your outstanding dues lying against the loans. Also, write that you want to explore alternative repayment terms. Specify the amount that you can pay, as well as what you expect from the creditor Bank in return. A good starting point for negotiation could be offering around 30% of the amount that you owe. You can try to negotiate a debt settlement on your own if your pocket permits to repay the entire outstanding at a time for a one-time settlement(OTS) of dues, but sometimes it's typically done through third parties like debt relief companies, which you may hire to negotiate the settlement matter with the lender on your behalf. With this method, you will make payments to the debt settlement company rather than your creditors/lenders, along with chargeable fees/service charges. Debt settlement is an agreement between a lender and a borrower in which the borrower repays a portion of a loan balance and the lender forgives the remainder. You may consider starting the negotiation by offering to pay 25% or 30% of your outstanding balance in return for forgiveness on the rest. But, it may be noted that while there are legitimate debt relief/settlement companies, there are also many scam operations. So, if you're considering one, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau(CFPB) suggests for contacting your state attorney general's office and local consumer protection agency to ask if they have any consumer complaints on file about that company. Some states require that debt settlement companies be licensed, which may provide some added protection. Although a debt settlement can offload some of your financial crisis, there are also a few potential risks and downsides to consider. First, a debt settlement will affect your credit score. That will make it more difficult for you to get credit or good interest rates in the future. Another potential drawback is that when you settle debt, you could face tax consequences. Finally, when you settle a debt with a credit card company, your account is closed once the settlement is complete. So you could potentially have no credit facility to use a credit card further owing to your poor credit score. Further, a quick counseling session with a certified credit counselor can help you to discover your options and choose the right path forward
