Can proceedings under the SARFAESI Act be stopped? Yes, if the bank has failed to follow due legal process or if there are procedural lapses, we can challenge it before the DRT.

What is the difference between DRT and DRAT? The DRT (Debt Recovery Tribunal) is the primary tribunal. The DRAT (Debt Recovery Appellate Tribunal) is where appeals against DRT orders are filed.
