Will bank take my home if I don’t repay?

Answer

A:

Yes, if you fail to repay a home loan or Loan Against Property (LAP), the bank has the legal right to take possession of your home under the SARFAESI Act, 2002 — but there is a specific legal process they must follow.

 What Happens If You Default:

1. Loan Becomes NPA:
   If you miss EMIs for 90 days or more, the loan is classified as a Non-Performing Asset (NPA).

2. 60-Day Demand Notice:
   Under the SARFAESI Act, the bank will issue a demand notice giving you 60 days to repay the full dues.

3. Possession Notice:
   If you don’t respond or pay, the bank can issue a possession notice and proceed to take over the property.

4. Auction Process:
   After possession, the bank may publish a sale notice and auction the property to recover dues.

 Your Legal Rights:

• You have the right to challenge the bank's actions before the Debt Recovery Tribunal (DRT).

• You can file objections under Section 17 of the SARFAESI Act.

• You also have the right to negotiate settlement, restructuring, or repayment before auction.
