When you need it

Your income has fallen or your circumstances have changed and you can no longer meet the home loan instalment on the present terms. You write to the lender asking it to change the loan's terms — a longer tenure, a lower instalment for a period, the arrears added into the loan, or a reset of the interest rate — and you set out the hardship, your income now and the instalment you can honestly pay.

Restructuring is the lender's decision under its own policy and the Reserve Bank's framework; you have no right to it, and the lender may charge a fee, change the rate or report the change to the credit bureau. The letter therefore asks for the revised terms in writing before you accept. It also says plainly whether any notice has been received under the SARFAESI Act, because that changes how urgently the lender will treat it. Not for a short instalment holiday only (use Moratorium or Instalment Holiday Request), and not for settling the loan for less than is due (use One-Time Settlement Proposal).

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.

Stamp duty

None for the request — it is not an instrument under section 2(14) of the Indian Stamp Act, 1899. If the lender later asks for a fresh loan agreement or supplemental deed, that document is stamped separately.

Registration

Not registrable and not required for the request. A change that alters the registered mortgage may need a fresh or supplemental mortgage document; the lender will say.

Notarisation

Not required unless the lender asks for it.

Witnesses

Not required.

  1. 3. My difficulty is this: My employer closed the Chandigarh unit in March 2026 and I joined a new job in June at a lower salary. My monthly income was ₹95,000 (Rupees Ninety Five Thousand only) and is now ₹62,000 (Rupees Sixty Two Thousand only). I expect it to improve as follows: Increment due after confirmation in December 2026.
  1. 4. On these facts I request you to extend the remaining tenure of the loan so that the instalment falls.

  1. 7. I understand that restructuring is for the lender to decide under its own policy and the Reserve Bank's framework, and that it may carry a fee or a change in the rate and may be reported to the credit bureau. Before I accept, please give me in writing the revised instalment, tenure, rate, fees and the effect on my credit record.
  1. 8. I request that no recovery step be taken on the account while this request is being considered, and that I be given a hearing at the branch if the lender needs any explanation.

Yours faithfully,
