Banking & Finance Law

Advisory and disputes for banks, NBFCs, lenders and borrowers across regulation, lending and enforcement.

Overview

Finance is the bloodstream of every enterprise, and the law that governs it is unforgiving of loose documentation. K & K Associates advises banks, NBFCs, fintech lenders, corporate borrowers and promoters across the full lending lifecycle — from structuring and documentation to default management, enforcement and dispute resolution.

Operating from A-197, LGF, Defence Colony, New Delhi 110024 — within 3 km of Saket District Court, 12 km of the Delhi High Court (Sher Shah Road) and 8 km of the Supreme Court of India, we draft and vet facility agreements, security documents and guarantees; advise on regulatory compliance under RBI norms; and litigate banking disputes before civil courts, the DRT, the Delhi High Court and consumer forums.

We sit on both sides of the table. That dual perspective — having drafted the security a lender relies on, and having broken security a borrower thought ironclad — makes our advice unusually practical. We tell clients not just what the law says, but what actually happens when a facility goes wrong.

Lending & Documentation

  • Term loan, working-capital, OD/CC and consortium facility agreements
  • Creation and perfection of security — mortgage, hypothecation, pledge, assignment
  • Personal and corporate guarantees, comfort letters and undertakings
  • Inter-creditor agreements and security trustee arrangements
  • Due diligence on title, charge searches and CERSAI/ROC filings

Regulatory & Compliance Advisory

We advise on the regulatory framework that governs banks and NBFCs — including RBI directions on lending, classification of assets, fair-practices codes, KYC/AML obligations and recovery conduct. For fintech and digital-lending models, we help structure arrangements that survive regulatory scrutiny.

Default Management & Enforcement

  • NPA classification review and restructuring strategy
  • SARFAESI enforcement of secured assets
  • DRT proceedings and recovery suits
  • Guarantee invocation and guarantor liability
  • Settlement, one-time-settlement (OTS) and assignment of debt

Banking Disputes

We litigate disputes over wrongful debits, fraudulent transactions, unauthorised electronic transfers, locker liability, mis-selling of financial products, and disputes between co-lenders. We act before civil courts, the DRT, banking ombudsman, RBI grievance channels and consumer commissions.
