Ans. It should, but only if you have written proof of closure and No-Dues showing a zero balance. Some lenders keep the account open internally and make new demands later if they don't have proof of closure. Make sure the words "full and final" and "no further claim" are in there. Legals365 and Advocate BK Singh write finality clauses and make sure that closure rules are followed.

Ans. Yes, settlement is legal as long as both parties agree, it is properly documented, and the money is sent through official channels. Threats, coercion, abuse of privacy, or hidden fees used to force a settlement are all illegal. If someone is trying to scare you, BNS principles can help you take legal action to protect yourself.
