You are co applicant to loan and have given your property as collateral security

2) on failure to repay the loan bank can proceed against all the applicants

3) bank will seek to auction the mortgaged property and properly given as security to recover its dues

Bank can put pressures on default in loan repayment.

The bank can initiate action under the provisions of sarfesi act too.

If the main applicant has defaulted in repayment, the bank may take possession of his property under the referred act and for additional or short fall it may attach the collateral security of property offered by you.

You may talk to the main applicant to manage to somehow make good the shortfall amount after adjustment of his property offered for loan or you should be prepared for your property coming under auction for recovery.

The property of aplicant is also their with bank. Why bank is pressurising us only. Also their r 4 more co aplicants.

The other co-applicants are just for name sake because they have not offered their properties as collateral security.

What is the use of taking any action against those people who never offered any security nor stood as guarantee.
