SARFAESI proceedings – rights of the Borrowers – related complications?

October 6, 2011 6955 Views 2 comments Print

Many argue that the provisions of SARFAESI Act, 2002 are draconian in nature. Borrowers do often refer to their good relations with the Bank for a considerable time and they express angst at the Bank’s action under the provisions of the SARFAESI Act, 2002. The borrowers do often question as to why the Bank should not consider the reputation of the customer, understand the temporary difficulties and grant time rather proceeding against the ‘Secured Asset’ using the provisions of the SARFAESI Act, 2002 mechanically.

Auctions under ‘SARFAESI Act’ and the need of fairness?

October 4, 2011 13840 Views 2 comments Print

It may be true that Banks do face numerous difficulties in recovering the dues despite having ‘security’. But, there can not be any difficulty for the Banks in recovering their dues under SARFAESI Act, 2002. It is alleged that even the Debt Recovery Tribunals and Appellate Tribunal do favour Banks and keep on insisting on making substantial payment to the Bank without looking into the merits or demerits in the Appeal filed by the borrower under the Act. According to me, earlier, the High Courts used to discourage the borrowers filing Writ Petitions and Civil Revision Petitions under Article 227 either during the pendency of the Appeal before the Tribunal or before filing the Appeal.

Late claims can not be rejected by the insurance companies mechanically -IRDA

October 2, 2011 7408 Views 0 comment Print

The current contractual obligation imposing the condition that the claims shall be intimated to the insurer with prescribed documents within a specified number of days is necessary for insurers for effecting various post claim activities like investigation, loss assessment, provisioning, claim settlement etc. However, this condition should not prevent settlement of genuine claims, particularly when there is delay in intimation or in submission of documents due t0 unavoidable circumstances. The insurers’ decision to reject a claim shall be based on sound logic and valid grounds. It may be noted that such limitation clause does not work in isolation and is not absolute. One needs to see the merits and good spirit of the clause, without compromising on bad claims. Rejection of claims on purely technical grounds in a mechanical fashion will result in policyholders losing confidence in the insurance industry, giving rise to excessive litigation.

FDI Circular 2 of 2011 – Consolidated FDI Policy

September 30, 2011 2465 Views 0 comment Print

DI into construction development activities in the education sector and in respect of old-age homes has been exempted from the conditionalities imposed on FDI in the construction development sector in general i.e. minimum area and built-up area requirement; minimum capitalization requirement; and lock-in period. These conditionalities perhaps posed a constraint to FDI coming into these areas since educational institutions like schools, colleges, universities etc. as well as old-age homes have their own special requirements which do not necessarily fit these conditionalities
