Prospective effect but I dont think consent of borrower was ever required for extension of time. And in 2013 maximum period could have extended to 30 days and not 90 days.

90 days inclusive of 15 days.

Purchaser made the payment via cheque on same day. Now when secured creditor realise the cheque is not a concern of purchaser until cheque bounce.

Hi 

The answer to your queries are as follows:

1) The amendments in SARFAESI Act was made on 04-November-2016. 

1) The new amendment rule(where borrower consent is not required for extension of time) is Prospective.

2) In your case, cause of action arose on the date on which the bank issued you an extension letter and hence the amendment made in sarfaesi act on [deleted] will not be applicable in your case. 

2) Extension of time by 90 days : under the earlier rule, auction purchaser had to mandatorily make payment within maximum three months from date of auction and hence it is inclusive of the 15 days already given. 

3) Consent of the borrower: Supreme court had held that consent of borrower is mandatory for extension of time. 

You may refer to the judgement in GM, Sri Siddeshwara Co-operative Bank Ltd. and Anr. vs. Sri Ikbal and Ors. (22.08.2013 - SC) where supreme court has categorically stated that borrower consent is mandatory for extension of time. 

Hope this information is useful.

1. If there is a particular mention that the new amendment or rule takes place retrospectively then it shall be applicable accordingly if not then it may have prospective effect only.

2. The additional extension shall be inclusive of the already extended 15 days until and unless specially excluded.

3. There is nothing wrong in it that they have realised the cheque amount at a later date due to various  reasons.

Dear Sir/Madam,

You are informed here that the law is modification is not retrospective and hence the amendment of 2016 is not applicable to sale held in 2013. The order of extension of time might have described the date of inclusion of 15 days or its exclusion. If there is no mention, the same will be treated as included. As per your input, the payment by bidder is fully acceptable.
