Can I go to the Debt Recovery Tribunal (DRT) for help with a profile funding dispute?
When there are disagreements and borrowers are threatened with harsh recovery methods, a common question is:
“Can I go to the Debt Recovery Tribunal (DRT) for help with a profile funding dispute?”
The short answer is yes, you can in many cases, as long as the dispute is with banks, NBFCs, or financial institutions that the DRT has power over. Let's go over this step by step.
The Recovery of Debts and Bankruptcy Act, 1993, set up the Debt Recovery Tribunal (DRT) as a special court. It mostly deals with cases where banks or other financial institutions want to get back money they owe that is more than ?20 lakh.
The DRT has the power to:
Hear complaints from borrowers about wrongful recovery.
Stay away from things like property seizure or auction.
Check to see if the lenders followed the rules set by the RBI and SARFAESI.
Give help like restructuring or a legal settlement.
Funding Disputes and the DRT Profile
People usually get into profile funding disputes when they find out they've been tricked into taking out loans with terms that aren't sustainable. Banks or NBFCs often take over these loans later. When banks get involved, recovery actions like SARFAESI notices, property attachment, or forced recovery start.
Example from Real Life
An agent talked Rahul, a small business owner from Gurugram, into signing up for a "profile funding" loan. At first, the EMI seemed manageable, but hidden fees made the loan go into default. Later, the bank sent him a SARFAESI notice saying they would sell his store at auction.
The DRT can help, but the process is very complicated. Without help from a lawyer, borrowers often lose cases because they don't follow the rules. When you hire professionals like Legals365 under the direction of Advocate BK Singh, you can be sure that:
Petitions must be filed by certain dates.
People raise technical objections (like RBI compliance, illegal fees, and harassment) in a good way.
Quickly getting interim relief, like stay orders, is possible.
For small businesses and middle-class borrowers, this legal help can mean the difference between keeping their property and losing it.

"Agents tricked me into signing a loan that was too much for me. Legals365 went to DRT when the NBFC threatened to take their property. I finally had some breathing room because the recovery was put on hold.
