Bank/Financial Institute : Punjab National Bank
Branch / Name of Bank and Branch : PNB Civil lines, Bulandshahr, Branch Manager - Akhilesh
An application under Article 51 A of the constitution of India by the proprietor of Om Gas Agency Smt. Rajesh Sharma wife of Brij Nandan Sharma.
Prayer-Honourable Sir, the applicant has made the repayment of one third of the total amount decided by Punjab National Bank but Bank is issuing the notices of auction repeatedly instead of renewal of loan account as assured by them quite obvious from communication dated 13/12/2022 of the bank addressed to the applicant. Vide attached page 4 to the grievance.
It is noticeable that chief manager, authorised officer, Punjab National Bank , secured credit issued the first auction notice on 10/02/2021 which was settled through OTS by making repayment by the borrower one third of settled amount and keeping the loan much below the limit. Vide page 2 of the attached PDF document to the grievance.
Chief manager, authorised officer, Punjab National Bank , secured credit issued the second auction notice on 19/07/2023 which is against the provisions of The Securitisation and Reconstruction of Financial Assets and Enforcement of Security Interest (SARFAESI) Act 2002.
Undoubtedly The Securitisation and Reconstruction of Financial Assets and Enforcement of Security Interest (SARFAESI) Act 2002 provides enormous unchallenging power to the bank but it is the obligatory duty of the staff of the bank not to misuse it.
How can loan provided by the bank may be considered non-performing assets if the 1/3 amount of the loan as decided why the accountable public functionaries of the bank has been paid by the applicant?
Here it is quite obvious that the extra ordinary power vested to the bank under the Securitisation and Reconstruction of Financial Assets and Enforcement of Security Interest (SARFAESI) Act 2002 is being misused by the bank staff arbitrarily which reflects the corruption in the working of the bank.
Here it is quite obvious that bank staff not pursuing the guidelines passed by the Reserve Bank of India regarding the

The Securitisation and Reconstruction of Financial Assets and Enforcement of Security Interest (SARFAESI) Act 2002 is a powerful instrument in the hands of the banks and financial institutions (FIs) as secured creditors. If the borrower becomes a ‘wilful defaulter’ as defined by the RBI Master Circular
19/08/2023
19/08/2023
On wilful defaulters vide RBI circular (RBI/2014-15/73 DBR.No.CID.BC.57/20.16.003/2014-15 dated July 1, 2015) SARFAESI Act proceeding can be issued even without notice to the borrower. Who is a wilful defaulter?
Deliberate non-payment of the dues despite adequate cash flow and good net worth, Siphoning off of funds to the detriment of the defaulting unit
Assets financed either not been purchased or been sold and proceeds have been misutilised Misrepresentation / falsification of records Disposal / removal of securities without bank's knowledge
Fraudulent transactions by the borrower. Banks/ FIs throwing overboard these norms, classify all the MSME NPAs as wilful defaulters to apply the SARFAESI lever. As per the Act, valuation of the asset has to be done and notify that valuation to the borrower before issuing public notice for auction of property. Bank has to give 30 days’ notice to the borrower regarding its right to proceed against the mortgaged property if he does not pay up the entire principal and interest.
