RBI asks banks, NBFCs to release original movable, unmovable property documents within 30 days of full repayment of loan

The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has issued directions to Regulated Entities (REs) such as banks and non-banking finance companies (NBFCs) to release all the original movable / immovable property documents and remove charges registered with any registry within a period of 30 days after full repayment/ settlement of the loan account.

This instruction has come as per the guidelines on Fair Practices Code issued to various REs since 2003, who are required to release all movable / immovable property documents upon receiving full repayment and closure of loan account. 

“However, it has been observed that the REs follow divergent practices in release of such movable / immovable property documents leading to customer grievances and disputes,” the RBI said in the circular issued on Wednesday.
