Why you need it

When you need it

More than 30 days after full repayment, the lender still hasn't returned documents or filed charge satisfaction. RBI's 13 September 2023 direction requires both within 30 days, Rs 5,000/day compensation for entity-attributable delay, plus 30 extra days if originals are lost/damaged (lender bears copy costs). State the closure date, deadline, outstanding action, follow-ups, days claimed and relief sought. No reply within 30 days (or an unsatisfactory one): escalate a bank/NBFC complaint to the RBI Ombudsman (RB-IOS 2026) within 90 days of the deadline or last reply. HFCs are outside that scheme — go to the National Housing Bank after their own grievance officer.

What follows is written for Punjab and Chandigarh. It states the position there rather than describing how it varies, so the amounts below are the ones that apply — worth confirming at the sub-registrar’s office, because rates change. If the property is anywhere else in India, none of this is yours.

LEGAL BASIS

Punjab: RBI's 13 September 2023 direction requires covered lenders to return originals and remove registered charges within 30 days and provides Rs 5,000 per day for lender-attributable delay. The lender grievance office receives the complaint. If the lender does not reply within 30 days, or its reply does not resolve the complaint, a complaint against a bank or a non-banking finance company covered by the Reserve Bank – Integrated Ombudsman Scheme, 2026 can be taken to the RBI Ombudsman within 90 days of that deadline or of the lender's last reply, whichever is later. Housing finance companies are outside that scheme: a complaint against one goes, after the company's own grievance redressal officer, to the National Housing Bank. Any Punjab local charge-record update is a separate authority process.
