What is the Debt Recovery Tribunal (DRT)?

The Debt Recovery Tribunal is a specialized body established under the Recovery of Debts and Bankruptcy Act, 1993 (RDB Act). It was created to ensure fast and efficient recovery of debts owed to banks and financial institutions. The tribunal provides a cost-effective and time-bound process for recovering secured and unsecured loans without involving regular civil courts.

In addition, DRTs handle cases involving debts above ₹20 lakhs. They also deal with matters under the SARFAESI Act, 2002, such as enforcing security interests and taking possession of secured assets.
