How much is the outstanding loan amount?, whether your requests to the company to repay installments have not been considered by the company?

The loan was taken and paid 16 installments the last being in 2007, right?
Whether you had any communication or any commitment from your side after that till this date?
The loan appears to be barred by limitation hence they cannot file a money recovery suit, that is why they are trying to use illegal methods to recover the loan amount with the exorbitant interest.

1) which year was last instalment paid by you 

2) you have stated you paid 16 instalments which means you have not made any payment after 2009

3. You can certainly refuse to pay the amount which the Bank has charged in excess of the amount which you have agreed to pay,

4. However, the Bank can not harass you illegally by aproaching your office or home. Police will not come to your office to arrest you since it is not a criminal case,

5. The Bank has to act legally and ecover the amount with due process of law backed by Court order,

6. Settle the matter amicably with he Bank.

2. However, you shall have to repay he amount you had taken on loan with the interest at the rate you had agreed to pay  while taking the said loan.

4. Banks have provisions to waive interest on certain grounds. try this easiest route first.

After stopping of repayment interest for more than 6 months and principal amount for more than 12 months converts loan into NPA. 

NPA is governed under SARFAESI Act, your loan might be transferred to recovery cell (generally called recovery agent) but these agents have no power to confine you in order to recover loan. 

file application before debt recovery tribunal (DRT ) for settlement of loan. consult with a good lawyer and initiate proceeding before DRT as soon as possible.

1. Unless there is a warrant of arrest issued against you you cannot be arrested.

3. If a lawyer's notice is issued to you put it up to your lawyer to have it answered. 

4. These are very common tactics employed by the banks to intimidate the debtor to repay the amount. Do not succumb to it.

1. If the loan was taken in 2007 a claim by the bank cannot sustain in the court now. The right of the bank to initiate the legal proceedings is now foreclosed by the law. 

2. Only the bank can either re-schedule the installments, or waive a portion of the loan.

3. Tell the bank to do whatever it wishes to do. The bank will begin with the issue of a lawyer's notice to you which can be answered by your lawyer. Thereafter, if a case is filed against you then you can fittingly contest it in the court.
