SC asks RBI to secure compliance of norms on seizure of financed vehicles by NBFCs, banks

The court ordered a finance firm to close loan accounts and refund money. Compensation was awarded for mental agony and livelihood loss. This ruling ensures borrowers are not dispossessed of vehicles arbitrarily.
