* The spike in auto-debit failures suggest that the pain may have only just begun for India’s small borrowers

* With mandatory EMI repayments kicking in since September, many feel the available recast options and a waiver of compound interest are not sufficient. India may be staring at a loan crisis

MUMBAI: For someone who had never defaulted on any loans before March this year, Monica Keerthi Karri gets quite harried at the mention of loan recovery agents. The 32-year-old teacher from Visakhapatnam lost her job and income when covid-19 struck and has been warding off recovery agents ever since.

“It was only after March that I could not pay my equated monthly installments (EMIs) and was repeatedly harassed. So much so that some agents reached my parent’s house to recover missed payments, traumatizing them," said Karri.

She is among the millions of Indians who have started defaulting on loans from banks, non-banking financial companies (NBFCs) and from app-based lenders. While the last round of bad loans was all about large corporate defaulters who were given unhindered access to bank funds, the current crisis, which is just about starting to unfold after a nervous pause due to a few months of moratorium, has hit retail borrowers the hardest.
