Debt Recovery Tribunal (DRT)

Debt Recovery Tribunal (DRT)

The Debt Recovery Tribunal (DRT) is a specialised forum in India dealing with disputes and recovery proceedings relating to debts owed to banks and financial institutions. DRT proceedings are intended to provide a focused legal mechanism for addressing financial recovery matters and resolving eligible disputes efficiently.

DRT matters commonly arise where borrowers have defaulted on financial facilities and outstanding dues require recovery. Such proceedings may involve loan documentation, security interests, repayment obligations, recovery claims, borrower defences and issues concerning secured assets. Proper legal guidance is important for both lenders and borrowers to understand their rights, obligations and available remedies.
