1. It is very heartening to note that Government of India and Government of Tamil Nadu are taking special interest in the SLBC matters and rendering all support to banks. 2.

Transfer of ownership and permit of Autorickshaws financed by banks

Bankers are extending finance for purchase of Autorickshaws in the entire State. The vehicles are hypothecated to the financing banks and the autorickshaw owners execute necessary documents in favour of the banks to that effect.

SLBC received reports from member banks that many such loans have been classified as Non Performing Assets due to non payment of installment and interest. Banks are taking possession of such vehicles after exhausting all possible steps for normal recovery.

When the bank proposes to transfer the ownership and the permit to the successful bidder in the auction, the Regional Transport Authorities insist for the appearance of the owner of the Auto and sign the transfer form. This procedure results in very low quote for the seized vehicles in auction as the successful bidders are expected to pay a heavy amount to the original owner for transfer of permit.

The member banks request that the transfer of both the ownership of the vehicle and permit to be done on application by financing bank alone without insisting the appearance and signature of the original owner (defaulter borrower).

The State Government is requested to consider the request of the banks and to issue necessary instructions to the Regional Transport Authorities.

This will definitely encourage the banks to go in for more number of loans to Autorickshaws and other commercial vehicles.
