How can I request a grace period for my loan payments?

I hope you are doing well. I am currently unable to make my loan payments and have been under significant pressure from the lender, who has been calling and visiting my place, which is affecting my mental health. I do not have a job at the moment and am struggling financially. The lender has warned that my account will be classified as NPA unless payments are made. I need your help to send a legal request to the lender, asking for a grace period of 3 to 5 months to get back on track. Your support in addressing this situation would mean a lot to me, and I would appreciate any advice on the best course of action. Thank you for your assistance.

You can formally request a loan restructuring or a moratorium under RBI guidelines by writing to the lender, citing financial hardship and seeking a 3-5 month grace period. Mention your intent to repay once stable and request written confirmation of their decision. If harassment continues, file a complaint with the RBI Ombudsman or local authorities under consumer protection laws. Let me know if you need help drafting the request.

Sir, to handle this, write a letter to your lender explaining that you are struggling financially and cannot make payments right now because of unemployment. Ask for 3 to 5 months to get back on track by including any proof of your situation, like your job loss notice. It is advised to consult an expert lawyer who will assist you with the best course of action. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
