Employee-Directors cum guarantors are liable for repayment of the whole of the loan amount

It is quite common for employee-Directors to act as guarantors for the loans taken by their Companies. A few of them even deposit title deeds of their personal properties as collateral guarantee for the loans. Such employee-directors have personal liability to Bank for repayment of the entire loan amount even after they have resigned from the Company. The liability of such directors has always remained a bone of contention between them and the Bankers, the Company (the principle borrower) and the current directors. Such employee - directors-guarantors cannot escape responsibility for the repayment of the loans by the company, whether they are in the company or have since resigned.

On the basis of such a judgment the DRT can issue a Recovery Certificate. However, the applicant or judgment creditor bank has to file an application before the DRT within a period of three years from the date of judgment.
