In 2026, with the updated <b data-path-to-node=\"2\" data-index-in-node=\"148\">RBI Fair Practice Code<\/b>, you have more power than ever to consolidate your position and demand a fair <b data-path-to-node=\"2\" data-index-in-node=\"249\">loan settlement<\/b>.<\/p>\n<hr data-path-to-node=\"3\" \/>\n<h3 data-path-to-node=\"4\">1.
