Your rights under RBI guidelines

Under RBI rules, recovery agents cannot use abusive language, threaten borrowers, or visit at inappropriate hours. Document every incident and use the regulator’s complaint channels to seek relief.

Key action: Lodge a formal complaint with your lender and copy the RBI Consumer Education & Protection Department. If unresolved, escalate to the Banking Ombudsman immediately.

Why prompt action matters

Immediate steps

Note names, timings, and content of calls or visits.
Send a legal notice through registered mail.
Demand all communication be in writing.
Seek compensation for mental harassment where applicable.
