Executive Summary

Digitizing Non-Performing Asset (NPA) Recovery Management

Replacing manual paperwork, scattered spreadsheets, and missed court dates with centralized real-time legal intelligence.

When borrower accounts stop paying EMIs, financial institutions face a daunting challenge: navigating complex multi-jurisdictional statutory laws (SARFAESI Act 2002), debt recovery tribunals (DRT), and compromise settlements while tracking strict court hearing dates.

Metrics Recovery solves these structural bottlenecks by consolidating all defaulted loan accounts into a single real-time operational hub. From early SMA warnings (DPD 1-90 days) to physical property auctions and One-Time Settlements (OTS), every action is tracked with audit-ready legal compliance.

Banking Recovery Process

From Default to Recovery

A step-by-step journey from loan default to final recovery through legal channels.

NPA Classification (Non-Performing Asset)

When the borrower fails to repay EMI for 90 days or more, the account is classified as NPA.

SMA Classification (Special Mention Account)

Before NPA, if EMI is overdue: SMA-0 (1–30 days), SMA-1 (31–60 days), SMA-2 (61–90 days).

Demand Notice

Bank issues a legal demand notice under Section 13(2) of SARFAESI Act, calling for payment of the outstanding amount.

SARFAESI Action

If payment is not made, bank can take possession of secured assets and issue possession notice under Section 13(4).

Asset Auction

Bank issues sale notice and conducts auction of the secured asset to recover the outstanding dues.

DRT (Debt Recovery Tribunal)

Borrower can file an application before DRT against bank's action. DRT hears the case and may pass recovery order in favor of the bank.

DRAT / High Court

If borrower is not satisfied with DRT order, they can appeal to DRAT and further to High Court on legal grounds.

Lok Adalat / Settlement

Parties can settle the matter through Lok Adalat or One Time Settlement (OTS) for quick resolution and final recovery.

Final Milestone

Recovery & Closure

Once the outstanding amount is recovered through any of the above channels, the account is closed and marked as Settled / Closed.

Got Questions?

Frequently Asked Questions

How does SARFAESI statutory notice tracking work in Metrics Recovery?
The platform automatically starts a statutory 60-day timer upon issuance of a Section 13(2) Demand Notice. It prompts staff for symbolic possession under Section 13(4), tracks Vernacular & English newspaper publication dates, and calculates District Magistrate Section 14 physical possession deadlines automatically with 15-day warning indicators.
How does the OTS (One-Time Settlement) engine calculate minimum compromise limits?
The OTS module extracts both the Book Outstanding Balance and Shadow Interest (uncollected penal interest). It applies pre-configured bank sacrifice rules based on collateral market value to generate the minimum eligible settlement figure, ensuring no unauthorized compromise deals are submitted.
Can Metrics Recovery integrate with our bank's existing Core Banking System (CBS)?
Yes. System Administrators can either perform automated batch imports via secure API connectors or upload daily/weekly CBS export spreadsheets to sync fresh SMA and NPA account lists seamlessly into the platform.
How are Debt Recovery Tribunal (DRT) court hearings tracked?
Every high-value case (> ₹20 Lakhs) assigned to DRT is linked with the assigned panel advocate, tribunal bench number, and Original Application (OA) case number. Advocates or branch officers log next hearing dates, court bench orders, and interim application statuses which feed into the Interactive Recovery Calendar.
