What if I gave personal guarantee for a business loan?

Answer

A:

If you have given a personal guarantee for a business loan, you are legally responsible for repaying the loan if the business fails to do so. Here's what it means and how it can affect you:

 Legal Implications:

• Personal liability: The lender can recover the dues from your personal assets (e.g., savings, property) if the business defaults.

• Credit score impact: Any default will affect your personal credit report and CIBIL score, even if the loan was for a company.

• Legal notices: Banks can issue demand notices or take legal action under laws like the SARFAESI Act or file a recovery suit.

• Bankruptcy risk: In extreme cases, if you're unable to pay, the lender can initiate insolvency proceedings against you.
