The Debt Settlement Contract serves as a crucial legal instrument in India's financial and business landscape, providing a structured framework for resolving outstanding debts through negotiated settlements. This document becomes necessary when a debtor cannot fulfill their original debt obligations and both parties agree to a reduced settlement amount or modified payment terms. The contract must comply with Indian contract law, particularly the Indian Contract Act, 1872, and related financial regulations such as the Recovery of Debts and Bankruptcy Act, 1993. It typically includes detailed information about the original debt, settlement terms, payment schedules, and release conditions. The document protects both creditor and debtor interests by clearly defining their rights, obligations, and the consequences of non-compliance.
