 Can You Be Arrested for Not Paying a Personal Loan in India? 🚨💰⚖️

🔹 Can You Go to Jail for Not Paying a Loan? 🚔❌
NO! Loan default is a civil dispute, not a criminal offense. Under Indian law, banks cannot get you arrested just because you missed EMIs.

✅ Banks Can: Issue legal notices, impact your CIBIL score, or initiate recovery through arbitration.
❌ Banks Cannot: File criminal charges unless there is fraud or cheque bounce involved.
🚨 Exception: If you issued a bounced cheque (Section 138, NI Act), you may face legal action!

💡 Moral of the story: Defaulting on a loan won’t land you in jail, but it can ruin your financial future! 💰⚠️

🔹 What Happens If You Don't Repay? ⚖️📑
When you default, banks don’t send police—they take legal recovery steps:

✔️ Loan Recovery Agents – Banks may hire recovery agents, but they must follow RBI guidelines.
✔️ Civil Suit – The lender can file a legal recovery case against you.
✔️ CIBIL Score Impact – Your credit score drops, making future loans difficult.
✔️ Asset Seizure – If it’s a secured loan (home, car), banks can seize assets.
✔️ Settlement Negotiation – Banks may settle for a lower amount to recover dues.

💡 Tip: Don’t ignore default notices! Negotiate repayment terms before it escalates. 📜💸
