It was introduced to empower banks and financial institutions to recover non-performing assets (NPAs) efficiently without the lengthy process of court intervention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before the introduction of this Act, banks often faced challenges in recovering loans from defaulters due to slow legal procedures. The SARFAESI Act 2002 changed this by giving lenders the legal right to seize and sell secured assets of defaulting borrowers to recover dues, ensuring faster and smoother recovery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-is-the-sarfaesi-act-2002\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_the_SARFAESI_Act_2002\"><\/span>What is the SARFAESI Act, 2002?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The SARFAESI Act 2002 was enacted by the Government of India to regulate securitisation and asset reconstruction and to empower banks to enforce security interests. It allows banks and financial institutions to auction residential or commercial properties of borrowers who have defaulted on loans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In simple terms, this Act enables banks to take possession of the borrower\u2019s secured assets and sell them to recover the outstanding loan amount&nbsp; without needing to go through traditional court proceedings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Act applies to all banks, financial institutions, and asset reconstruction companies (ARCs) registered with the Reserve Bank of India (RBI).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-16018d1d wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.oliveboard.in\/lic-aao-mock-test\/?ref=conttm-aib\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Attempt a free LIC AAO Mock test<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-objectives-of-the-sarfaesi-act-2002\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Objectives_of_the_SARFAESI_Act_2002\"><\/span>Objectives of the SARFAESI Act 2002<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The SARFAESI Act was introduced to strengthen the financial system and reduce the burden of non-performing assets on banks.
