The Debt Recovery Letter of Demand is a critical document in Indian debt recovery practice, typically used when informal attempts to collect a debt have been unsuccessful. It serves as a formal prerequisite to legal action under Indian law and is often required before approaching Debt Recovery Tribunals or civil courts. The document should clearly state the outstanding amount, provide comprehensive details of the debt's origin, include any applicable interest calculations as per Indian regulations, and specify a reasonable timeframe for payment. It must align with Indian banking and financial regulations, particularly when issued by financial institutions, and should reference relevant sections of the Recovery of Debts Due to Banks and Financial Institutions Act, 1993, where applicable. This letter is crucial for establishing the creditor's serious intent to pursue recovery and often serves as the final opportunity for the debtor to settle before formal legal proceedings commence.
