Can You Go to Jail for Not Paying a Personal Loan in India

Recovery Agent Calls at Office: What the Rules Allow

Can a recovery agent visit your office? Only in limited cases. RBI conduct rules say dues can be discussed only with you or your guarantor, and contact is limited to 8:00 am to 7:00 pm. A visit to your place of work is allowed only if no meeting place was agreed or appointments were missed repeatedly. Shaming you before colleagues is not allowed.
