Mediation or compromise settlements can conclude matters in 6–18 months.

Yes. Borrowers and guarantors can file a counter-claim or challenge bank recovery actions before the Debt Recovery Tribunal. The DRT also handles wrongful invocation of SARFAESI proceedings. Timelines at DRT are generally faster than Civil Courts for such matters.
