Sub: Time frame for initiation of legal action where two or more instalments of principal sum or interest are in default

In order to streamline the procedure and to bring uniformity with regard to initiation of legal action u/s 30/29 of the SFCs Act, 1951 in the event of default in all cases. It has been decided that on default of two or more consecutive instalments of principal sum or interest legal action should invariably be initiated u/s 30/29 of the SFCs Act.

It has also been observed that there is no uniformity in the time frame for legal notices issued by the branch offices. It has also been observed that after expiry of legal notice prompt action is not taken in fixing date of takeover of possession u/s 29.

It has, therefore, been decided to prescribe the time frame with regard to initiation of legal action u/s 30/29 of the SFCs Act as follows:

�If the persuasive efforts after first default do not yield results and the loanee fails to clear overdues as per the norms then, legal action u/s 30/29 should be invariably be initiated immediately on default of two or more instalments of principal sum or interest as follows:

• Legal notice should be issued u/s 30 immediately after two defaults within seven days giving 15 days time;
• After expiry of legal notice date of takeover of possession should be fixed giving not more than 15 days time. It should be ensured that notice for takeover of possession is issued within seven days from the date of expiry of legal notice.
• In those cases, where Branch Office has strong reasons for not issuing legal notice even after two or more insgtalments are in default, then the BM should record the reasons and send to DGM(R), who after due scrutiny may take a view to dispense within issuance of legal notice u/s 30 and direct to branch office to initiate legal action u/s 32(G).�

Accordingly, point No.4.1, 4.3, 4.4, 4.6 and 4.8 of Chapter No. FR-4 of P&G are hereby amended.

All concerned are advised to make note of the above and ensure strict compliance of these instructions in all cases of assisted units in default.

Sub: Default in Deferred Sale cases

Asper policy on initiatinag legal acation, so far considerations have been defined under Section 4.3 of PG on FR. Analysis has revealed that the units sold on deferred payment basis start commiting default and instead of alleviating the health code category by virtue of sale of unit in new hands, add to sticky accounts. Therefore, the management has laid down the following guidelines to deal with the incidence of default in units sold on deferred payment basis:

• No case should be registered for settlement of the account in respect of units sold on deferred payment basis unless prior permission of CMD is obtained.
• Units sold on deferred payment basis prior to 1.4.2000 having overdues of more than two consecutive principal instalments need immediate legal action including taking over possession, after seeking approval of Head Office.
• Legal action, including Section 29, is required to be initiated as per delegated power in the cases sold on deferred payment basis after 1.4.2000 where default of more than two consecutive principal instalments has occurred.
• All out efforts should be made to dispose off the units taken into possession on priority basis as per delegated powers regarding sale of units. Offers received should not be rejected outright if it is equivalent to the amount disbursed or 75% of the MRV.

All concerned are advised to strictly adhere to the above guidelines in dealing with the cases sold by the Corporation on deferred payment basis and to make note of the guidelines referreed at at (i) to (iv) above under a new sub-para 4.3. A in Chapter FR.4.

�Units sold on deferred payment basis prior to 1.4.2000 having overdues of more than two consecutive principal instalments need immediate legal action including take over of possession by the concerned DGM(R) except in cases of joint finance and the cases of units relating to SC/ ST.�

(FR No. 407)

Sub : Non compliance of PG provisions with regard to withdrawal of Legal Notice

As per P&G(FR-4), point no.4.11 and 4.12, Legal Notice U/s 30 may be withdrawn on payment of 50% of the overdues as on date of Legal Notice and in case the unit is not in a position to pay an amount equivalent to 50% of overdues then PG provides that it should make payment atleast to the following extent depending upon the Category of the account :-

In the spirit of the aforesaid clear provisions contained in PG the loanee should deposit either 50% of the overdues or the minimum amount as per category of account as specified above after issuance of Legal Notice immediately and in case they fail to deposit the said amount then action U/s 29 for take over of possession should invariably be taken meaning thereby either the party should make the payment as per above or immediately after expiry of Legal Notice, date of possession should be fixed by the BO and possession should be taken over in case payments have not been made as per above.

It has come to notice that many Branches are accepting Post Dated Cheques for the aforesaid stipulated amount which is in contravention of provisions of PG contained in Point No.4.12(B).

It is, therefore, once again reiterated that in case the party failsl to deposit the amount on cash down basis immediately after issue of Legal Notice as per existing provisions then date of possession should be fixed and possession should be taken over on expiry of Legal Notice.

Only in those cases where party makes the payment as per above provisions then Legal Notice should be withdrawn after arriving at a clear understanding with the party for payment of remaining dues regularly PDCs should also be obtained for the remaining dues and accounts should be regularized as per norms.

Any violation will be viewed seriously.
