What happens if I miss home loan EMIs?

Answer

A:

Missing home loan EMIs (Equated Monthly Installments) can lead to serious consequences. It is important to understand the implications and how to manage the situation legally.

Consequences of Missing Home Loan EMIs

1. Late Payment Charges

• Banks usually impose penalty fees or late payment charges for each missed EMI.

2. Impact on Credit Score

• Your CIBIL and credit score will be negatively affected, making future loans or credit difficult to obtain.

3. Loan Account Marked as ‘NPA’

• If EMIs remain unpaid for 90 days or more, the loan account is classified as a Non-Performing Asset (NPA) by the lender.

4. Bank’s Legal Action

• After default, the bank may start legal recovery proceedings under the SARFAESI Act or approach the Debt Recovery Tribunal (DRT).

• This can include property auction or foreclosure to recover dues.

5. Property at Risk

• The bank can initiate foreclosure proceedings and auction your home to recover the outstanding loan amount.

What You Should Do If You Miss EMIs

• Inform your lender immediately about your financial difficulties.

• Request for loan restructuring, moratorium, or EMI holiday if eligible.

• Explore options like loan settlement or refinance to manage dues.

• Seek legal advice to protect your rights and avoid unnecessary penalties.
