Banking & Financial Litigation

DC Law Offices is one of Delhi's leading practices for banking and financial litigation. Satyam Dwivedi represents major banks, NBFCs, and borrowers in recovery proceedings, SARFAESI actions, NPA settlements, and bank guarantee disputes before the Debt Recovery Tribunals and High Courts.

Banking and financial litigation in India covers disputes arising from loan defaults, NPA classification, recovery proceedings, SARFAESI enforcement, bank guarantee invocations, and financial fraud. These matters are adjudicated before specialised forums including the Debt Recovery Tribunal (DRT) established under the Recovery of Debts and Bankruptcy Act 1993, the Debt Recovery Appellate Tribunal (DRAT), Magistrate Courts for SARFAESI possession proceedings, High Courts, and the National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission. Key legislation includes the SARFAESI Act 2002, RBI Master Circulars on NPA classification and resolution, the Banking Regulation Act 1949, and the Negotiable Instruments Act 1881. Clients — whether banks seeking recovery or borrowers facing SARFAESI proceedings — need specialist counsel who understands the procedural nuances of DRT practice, the interplay between SARFAESI and IBC proceedings, and the regulatory framework governing financial institutions. Satyam Dwivedi, trained at Cyril Amarchand Mangaldas and L&L Partners and recognised as a BW Top 30 Under 30 lawyer, represents major banks including Yes Bank and Royal Bank of Scotland, and has deep experience in DRT Delhi proceedings, SARFAESI challenges, and NPA settlement negotiations.
