If you’re struggling with EMIs and considering settlement, this guide will help you decide whether you should settle loan or continue paying.
1. Settle Loan When EMIs Are No Longer Affordable
If:
- Your salary has decreased
- You lost income
- You faced medical emergencies
- You have multiple loans
…then settlement is a practical decision.
2. Do Not Settle Loan If You Can Pay EMIs Regularly
Settlement is only for those in genuine hardship.
If you have stable income, then:
✔ Continue EMIs
✔ Avoid settlement
3. Settlement Helps When Legal Risk Is High
If you received:
- Arbitration notice
- Section 138 notice
- Lok Adalat notice
You may need to settle loan quickly to stop escalation.
