Stop Recovery Agent Visits

Summary

Banks are not legally bound to stop recovery agent visits upon request, but they must follow RBI guidelines and address harassment complaints. To avoid visits, send a written request to the bank and recovery agency, stating your preference for email communication. If the bank does not comply, you can escalate the issue to the Banking Ombudsman. Reasons for requesting no physical visits can include personal safety, privacy concerns, work schedule constraints, or health issues.
