Banking & Finance Law Practice

To align with international trends enabling financial institutions to recover bad debts quickly and efficiently, the Government of India has established 33 Debt Recovery Tribunals (DRTs) and 5 Debt Recovery Appellate Tribunals (DRATs) across the country. These DRTs are distributed nationwide, with some cities hosting more than one tribunal. New Delhi and Mumbai each have three DRTs, while Chennai and Kolkata have two. A single DRT has been set up in Ahmedabad, Allahabad, Aurangabad, Bangalore, Chandigarh, Coimbatore, Cuttack, Ernakulam, Guwahati, Hyderabad, Jabalpur, Jaipur, Lucknow, Nagpur, Patna, Pune, Ranchi, and Visakhapatnam. The establishment of a DRT depends on the volume of cases arising in the region.
