📌 When Can Loan Default Lead to Arrest?
If you issue a cheque that bounces (Section 138 of NI Act) 📜
If fraud or misrepresentation was involved in getting the loan 🚨
If you deliberately hide assets to avoid repayment 🏦
If the loan was taken under criminal circumstances (forgery, false documents, etc.) ⚖️
Simply being unable to pay due to financial issues is NOT a crime!
