Now the main part. What to do at each stage of bank action.

This is the most important stage. Bank sends 60 day notice after declaring NPA.

What to do:

Important: Bank must consider your reply and give written response. If they move ahead without reply, it is their mistake. This point becomes strong in DRT later. Many cases save your house at this stage.

If bank issues possession notice (Section 13(4)), go to Debt Recovery Tribunal immediately.

What to ask:

DRT has power to cancel wrong steps by bank. In 2026, DRT cases settle fast so do not delay.

What to do:

Note: New law limits redemption right after auction notice. So act early.

This is the easiest and practical way.

What to do:

2026 data shows most people save your house through OTS. Bank also wants full recovery without court cases.

If bank takes possession without proper notice or DM help, it is illegal.

Where to go:

Chance of relief is high in such cases.

At this stage, save your house is almost impossible. So act from the beginning.

Laws keep updating so knowing new decisions is important. Here are three key ones.

Supreme Court said borrower redemption right ends once auction notice is published. Earlier it lasted till sale. This makes save your house harder so pay or appeal before notice.

Court clarified 2016 amendment applies to old loans if default is later. Redemption right limited to auction notice. Borrower must act fast.

These decisions apply in 2026. Check court website for details.
