if any loan was taken by your grand mother bank would have taken recovery proceedings for recovery of loan amount with interest
2) the fact that bank has remained silent for so many years speaks volumes
3) dont sign any acknowledgment of liability for repayment of loan
4) bank claim is barred by limitation
1. Well, it's not clear whether the property was mortgaged with bank or not.
2. Unless the property is mortgaged with bank, it can not create charge in the property for defaults if any.
1. If your grandmother had obtained a loan from the bank which she had not repaid then the bank can file a lawsuit against her heirs to take the possession of the property which has devolved on them through inheritance or succession.
2. However, the bank cannot recover the amount after a lapse of 10 years from the demise of your grandmother. Reply through your lawyer to the legal notice as you have a good defence on merits.
Hi, Bank has no right to claim the dues orally, if there is any due they can claim through issue of legal notice, if you received the notice then you can reply it accordingly.
2. Hi, as per law they can't claim the amount after the expiry of 3 years it is called law of limitation or else you have to sign for an acknowledgement of debt undertaking to pay the amount then only the can claim the amount. Don't worry you have good case on merits.
The claim of the bank will not sustainable. Limitation period is also applicable in your case. Do not receive any notice or acknowledge of liability for repayment of loan from bank in grand mothers name.
Bank cannot recover the amount from you.
The bank might have advanced the loan which would have remained unsettled or not repaid but bank officials who are in the knowledge of the property documents deposited for collateral security may be trying to put pressure on you to commit the liability of loan so that they can enforce the loan which is barred by limitation in the present condition.
Since you have the registered sale deed and property in your possession, just do not worry about the oral threats by the bank, let them first send notice, you can reply them fittingly after which the bank will wind up without making any reference in future.
Consult a lawyer and issue a notice to the bank if the threat persists.
only mortgaged property is liable to sell in recovery of debt. challenge the legality of bank's notice. no marshaling applied after partition of properties. if property cannot be identified then all the legal heirs of borrower are liable to repay the debt jointly.
my property is not mortgaged not lien not charge by any court. Only bank threat me they can charge my property because of my property come from my grandmother who is died in 2004 and more still today i not get any notice .I plan to give public notice for title and let wait who claim for my property. after death of my grandmother 12 years., it is possible for bank to charge my property as legal heir? and second my late grandmother also have big bunglow as ownership and my younger brother get ownership of these big bunglow by my grandmother will.i have question why bank not going to bunglow if they really have dues of my late grandmother? what can i do against bank in legal ? Bank office threat me. can i suit harrasement case under criminal law? when i ask Bank CEO about these threat, CEO reply me that we have 700 account and we not know which account connected with your grandmother. second very important, my father is loanee in bank and in defence my grandmother suit case against bank that bank can not get money from her property bc she is owner, that time Bank told in court that they only dues in 15 accounts of my father, now all account is paid by my father . after that bank threat me that bank will charge my property in other account of late my grandmother. How it is possible?

1) i have already advised you that bank claim is barred by limitation
2)if your father has taken loan he is bound to repay the same .
3) if your father has repaid the loan bank cannot attach and sell any property standing in his name .
4) it is difficult for bank to recover dues of your grand mother account if it has not taken any action for many years .case should be filed within period of 3 years
Need not worry .The banks claim is bad for limitation..Why you afraid if the bank is not take a single steps against you. The bank manager will know if he made more pressure or threat upon you, you will pay the amount .
The property on your name was purchased by you on a registered sale deed. If at all there was a loan or charge on the name of the property, this would have reflected long back but he bank is trying to put pressure on you to repay the outstanding loan availed by your deceased grandmother saying that this property belonged to her. This is a fear psychology game played by the bank to clear the dues somehow. You dont commit anything in writing to this.
If you have not received any notice, do not give any notice from your side voluntarily, it may turn danger to you.
Whatever contents you have stated here are only oral and nothing in writing so without getting anything in writing do not make a commitment by yourself towards any loan. If the bank manager or any staff repeatedly trouble you over phone, tell them that you will lodge criminal complaint them with the police for threatening you and demanded bribe from you etc. They will stop calling you. If you receive any notice, you may consult a lawyer and give a reply denying the allegations.
The threat of the bank to charge your property is totally unfounded and without legal basis.
If the bank tries to blackmail you on the basis of such threat you can file case of criminal intimidation and extortion against the concerned person.
there is clear law to make liable any property for debt. section 50 cpc says that without court's direction no property could be charged for recovery of debt.
