Know the risk and duty of becoming a Loan Guarantor

Know the risk and duty of becoming a loan guarantor

 


The corona epidemic has affected many businesses. Due to this many consumers are facing difficulty in repaying their loan. In such a situation, if a borrower is unable to repay the loan instalments, then not only the loan borrower but also the guarantors are facing problems due to the default of the loan. If someone is a loan guarantor in such a case, then what should he take care of to avoid problems.

 

What to do if you default? Once you become a guarantor it will be difficult to get out of this responsibility. The guarantee should be given to you only in the case where you are ready to bear the burden of the loan if you do not pay the original account holder. If the person taking the loan is not paying the instalments regularly and the bank is asking you to repay the loan, then you can repay the loan by talking to the borrower. The Guarantor can later recover money from the borrower under the Indian Contract Act 1872.

 

What to do to get out of loan guarantor? If you are someone's loan guarantor and want to move now, it is not easy. Banks do not give permission until the person taking the loan seeks another new guarantor. After getting a new guarantor, the person taking the loan, the guarantor and the person you want to make a guarantor, will have to contact the bank. Although finding the second guarantor, it is up to the bank to allow it or not.

 

It is necessary to take insurance, the guarantor should insist on buying adequate loan insurance cover from the borrower. In case of any untoward incident, the loan guarantor will not be responsible for repaying the loan amount. The loan amount can be repaid with the money from insurance sub assured cover.

 

When is the loan guarantor important? Banks do not insist on loan guarantors for all loans. But, when the loan guarantee is not sufficient and they suspect repayment of the loan, they ask them to do so. It is necessary to have a loan guarantor for a large amount of loan.

 

What are the rules regarding loan guarantor? According to the bank rules, the person who guarantees a loan is also equal to the person taking the loan. In case of loan default, the bank, first of all, sends a notice to the borrower and in case of non-response, a notice is also sent to the borrower as well as the loan guarantor. The bank will try to recover loan amount from the borrower as much as possible, but failing which the guarantor will also be held responsible for the default.
