Arunachal Pradesh is unique, with a strong reliance on government employment and a rich tribal heritage. However, financial stress is rising. Government employees often find themselves trapped in a cycle of personal loans, while entrepreneurs face challenges with business loans.
The fear of social stigma and the complexity of land laws (LPCs and SARFAESI) add to the burden.
AMA Legal Solutions provides specialized legal support to the people of Arunachal Pradesh. Whether you are in Itanagar, Naharlagun, Pasighat, or Tawang, we help you navigate the legal system to settle your debts and protect your assets.
"Loan settlement, or One Time Settlement (OTS), is a legal negotiation where the bank agrees to accept a reduced lump sum amount to close a loan account that has become a Non-Performing Asset (NPA)."
For a government employee, this could mean settling a personal loan of ₹10 Lakhs for ₹5-6 Lakhs, allowing you to free up your salary from crippling EMIs.
We assist with:
You have specific legal rights that protect you from exploitation.
This Act regulates private money lending in the state. It mandates that all lenders must be licensed and caps interest rates (typically 15-18%). If you are dealing with unlicensed lenders charging exorbitant interest, this law is your shield.
The Gauhati High Court has consistently ruled against harassment by recovery agents. Banks cannot use force or humiliation to recover dues. We can seek immediate judicial intervention if your rights are violated.
The Arunachal Pradesh State Legal Services Authority conducts Lok Adalats, which are effective for settling bank disputes amicably and quickly.
We ensure strict adherence to RBI guidelines regarding fair practices code and recovery agent conduct.
We guide you through a structured process to achieve financial freedom.
We send a legal notice to the bank. This stops them from calling you directly and compels them to communicate only through us.
We analyze your income and liabilities. For government employees, we assess your take-home salary to propose a realistic settlement plan.
Our team negotiates with bank officials to reduce the outstanding amount, aiming for a waiver of interest and penalties.
We review the settlement letter. Once you pay the agreed amount, we ensure you receive a No Dues Certificate.
Government service is the backbone of Arunachal's economy. We understand the pressure of maintaining social status while struggling with debt.
Salary Protection: Banks cannot arbitrarily freeze your salary account. We ensure that your essential living expenses are protected during the settlement process.
Whether it's a personal loan or an 'Apon Ghar' housing loan, we can help you restructure or settle it without jeopardizing your job.
The issue of land attachment in Arunachal Pradesh is complex due to special constitutional protections.
The APSLSA actively promotes Lok Adalats for bank recovery cases.
Why it works: It is a non-adversarial forum where you can sit across the table with bank officials and a mediator to reach a compromise. The settlement is final, and you save on legal costs. We can represent you in Lok Adalats across Arunachal Pradesh.
Our expertise covers various types of loans common in Arunachal Pradesh.
Settlement for govt employees and individuals facing high EMI burdens.
Including 'Apon Ghar' scheme loans, helping you save your home.
Helping entrepreneurs in Itanagar/Pasighat settle MSME loans.
Negotiating to waive off high interest and late payment charges.
Settlement will be reported to CIBIL, but it is a necessary step to regain financial control.
The Trade-off: A temporary dip in your credit score is better than facing legal action or losing your assets. Once settled, you can rebuild your score over time.
Silence can lead to legal escalation. Always respond, preferably through a lawyer.
Avoid illegal money lenders. If you are already trapped, use the Money Lending Act 2018 for protection.
Debt is a civil matter. You cannot be arrested for genuine inability to pay (except in specific cheque bounce cases). Stay calm and seek legal help.
To start your settlement process, we will need:
We are committed to protecting the rights of the people of Arunachal Pradesh.
Deep understanding of land laws, LPCs, and SARFAESI implications in Arunachal.
Specialized strategies to protect salary accounts and jobs.
We take strong legal action against harassment by recovery agents.

Yes, loan settlement is a fully legal process. It is often facilitated through Lok Adalats organized by the Arunachal Pradesh State Legal Services Authority (APSLSA) and is a recognized method for resolving Non-Performing Assets (NPAs) with banks.
This is a complex issue. While the SARFAESI Act generally allows banks to attach properties, agricultural land is exempt. For non-agricultural tribal land with a Land Possession Certificate (LPC), banks can initiate proceedings, but the sale is typically restricted to other tribals to preserve indigenous rights. We can help you challenge any illegal attachment.
Banks cannot arbitrarily freeze your salary account without a court order. If your account has been frozen due to loan default, we can help you unfreeze it and negotiate a settlement plan that leaves you with enough disposable income.
This Act strictly regulates private money lending. It requires lenders to be licensed and caps interest rates (typically 15-18%). If a private lender is charging you exorbitant interest or harassing you, this Act provides you with strong legal remedies.
APSLSA conducts regular Lok Adalats in Itanagar, Pasighat, and other districts. These are highly effective for settling bank disputes amicably. The award passed is final and binding, often resulting in significant waivers on interest and penalties.
No. The Gauhati High Court (Itanagar Bench) and RBI guidelines strictly prohibit harassment. Recovery agents cannot visit your office to humiliate you or use abusive language. If this happens, we can take legal action against the bank.
Yes, even specific housing loans like 'Apon Ghar' can be settled if you are facing genuine financial hardship. We can negotiate with the bank for a restructuring or a One Time Settlement (OTS) depending on your circumstances.
You will need your loan account statement, identity proof (Aadhar/PAN), employment details (for govt employees), and any notices received from the bank. If you have a Land Possession Certificate (LPC) for mortgaged land, keep that ready too.
Yes, a settlement will be marked in your credit report. However, it is better than a 'default' or 'suit filed' status. It stops the legal action and allows you to slowly rebuild your credit over time.
We understand the unique legal and cultural context of Arunachal Pradesh. From protecting tribal land rights to defending government employees from harassment, we provide expert legal representation to help you settle your debts with dignity.
