Please see the agreement documents you signed if it has a foreclosure penalty clause. In other case you may write to banking ambudsman in this regard and if not satisfied you may go to consumer Rederessal Commission or forum as the value is.

1. The foreclosure and its terms will depend on the loan agreement.

2 The absence of any foreclosure charge varies with fianance company to another.

3. in most cases it is within 1-1/5 years.

4. Since it is 4 years the financier can not change any foreclosure penalty and if it does you can file case before the consumer forum to avoid this penal amount and for damages.

The foreclosure details and the applicable charges may be seen from the loan offer letter itself.

If there any such mention and you have agreed for the said terms, then you have no option than to oblige.

If they can't can we file a legal suit in NBFC ombudsman

You can lodge a complaint with the said ombudsman, but what are your grievances, first identify the same.

Ifg the foreclosure rules say that this percentage is leviable for foreclosure within some minimum period from the date of loan, you may hav no cse or grievance even if yo complain.
