FAQ On Benefits of Debts Recovery Tribunals

Debt Recovery Tribunals (DRTs) are quasi-judicial bodies set up under the Recovery of Debts Due to Banks and Financial Institutions Act, 1993 (RDDBFI Act) to provide a speedy and inexpensive mechanism for the recovery of debts due to banks and financial institutions.

The following are some of the benefits of DRTs:
** Speedy disposal of cases: DRTs are required to dispose of cases within 6 months from the date of filing. This is in contrast to the civil courts, where cases can take years to be resolved.
** Simplified procedure: The procedure for filing a case and obtaining a decree is much simpler in DRTs than in civil courts. This is because DRTs are not bound by the same rules and procedures as civil courts.
** Expertise: The presiding officers of DRTs are experienced lawyers and judges who are familiar with the law relating to banking and finance. This ensures that cases are decided on the basis of sound legal principles.
** Cost-effectiveness: The cost of filing a case and obtaining a decree in DRTs is much lower than in civil courts. This is because DRTs do not charge court fees and the cost of litigation is also lower.
