There are very well laid down and tight processes in place for auctioning of gold by NBFCs and banks in case a borrower fails to pay the gold loan. These processes are followed by NBFCs and banks, she told Lok Sabha.
There is a process for giving enough number of notices to bank account holders to say their servicing is not up to the mark. In the eventuality of a borrower not coming back to pay, the bank or NBFC will be forced to go for an auction, the minister said.
Sitharaman stressed that even while going for an auction, there are very well laid out procedures and tight processes.
"… if these processes are violated, indeed it is for us to act on but processes are… followed by the banks… I think if there are specific instances where laid out norms are violated, I am quite willing to take the details and act on it," she said.
