What to do if the recovery agent threatens
If the loan recovery agent of the bank intimidates you, then you can directly complain to the police.
Since non-payment of loan installment comes under the ambit of civil dispute, therefore no arbitrariness can be done with the defaulter. For loan recovery, the bank officer or recovery agent can call the defaulter customer only between 7 am to 7 pm. At the same time, the time for coming home to recover the loan amount will also be the same. If bank officials or recovery agents break these rules, customers can complain to the police or RBI.
What are RBI guidelines
To recover the loan amount, first inform the bank customers about the recovery agent or agency. The recovery agent will have to carry a copy of the bank’s notice while contacting the customer. If a customer complains to the recovery agent, then the bank will not be allowed to send that recovery agent in the related matter.
