INDIA NEWS | Fri, 28 Nov 2025, 12:04AM IST The government has set up a committee to examine key provisions under the Securitisation and Reconstruction of Financial Assets and Enforcement of Security Interest Act, 2002, or SARFAESI Act. The committee will have senior bankers and will examine this and other suggestions to further strengthen the recovery law, said people familiar with the developments.The Supreme Court in September ruled that the borrower's right of redemption under Section 13(8) of the Act stands extinguished once the secured creditor issues a valid notice of sale (publication).The court in the case M. Rajendran vs M/S Kpk Oils And Proteins India Pvt Ltd had further observed that the 30-day wait between publication and sale is the anomaly and asked the government to review it. "We are examining the suggestions made by the Supreme Court, and accordingly relevant changes will be proposed in the Act. The idea is to take up all other suggestions as well and, if required, amend the Act, which may need approval from the Parliament," said an official, who did not wish to be identified.125622127 Section 13(8) provides that where the amount of dues of the secured creditor, together with all costs, charges and expenses incurred by him, is transferred to the secured creditor at any time before the date of publication of notice for public auction or inviting quotations or tender from public or private treaty for transfer by way of lease assignment or sale of secured assets, no further step shall be taken by him for transfer or sale of that secured creditor.The SC in its judgement stated, "It is unfortunate that the ambiguities within the statutory provisions of the SARFAESI Act and rules thereunder have left the interests of secured creditors and auction purchasers high and dry. The interpretative deadlock between the provisions and the rules has single-handedly resulted in a huge mess insofar as enforcement of security interest is concerned, giving birth to an endless pipeline of litigation clogging the specialised forums of the DRT and DRAT that are expected to expeditiously decide matters of recovery of debt," urging the finance ministry to take a serious look at these provisions and bring about necessary changes.The last major amendment to the act was done through Enforcement of Security Interest and Recovery of Debts Laws and Miscellaneous Provisions (Amendment) Act, 2016, which also paved the way for a central database of security interests created on property rights.
