Can banks attach property for unpaid loan settlements?

I received a legal notice from the Tehsildar regarding repayment of a loan taken from Kotak Bank. I had borrowed ₹1,70,000 and have already repaid ₹1,03,000. However, the bank is now demanding ₹1,46,000. Although the bank offered a settlement of ₹90,000, I refused because I considered the amount excessive. The Tehsildar's notice states that my movable and immovable properties may be attached if I fail to pay the full amount. I have settled around 12 other loan and credit card accounts at approximately 20–25% of the outstanding dues, but Kotak Bank is demanding a significantly higher amount. What legal remedies are available to me?

Do not ignore the Tehsildar's notice. Obtain a detailed loan statement from Kotak Bank and verify the outstanding amount, interest, and charges. You may negotiate a revised settlement or challenge excessive demands through the appropriate legal forum. Property attachment generally follows due legal process, so seek legal advice promptly and respond to the notice within time. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
