When does criminal breach of trust legally come into effect?

If I default a personal loan intentionally, is it criminal breach of trust? Does criminal breach of trust begin at loan or default? If someone took property under deception, is it theft?

If you took a loan but never intended to repay, it can be seen as cheating or criminal breach of trust, depending on intent. The crime counts from when repayment was due and defaulted. If someone took your property through lies, it can be theft if consent was based on falsehood. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
