I want to foreclosure now they are saying 4.60% additional. That is cheating. Police should intervene into it. If agreement is prior 1 june 16 then they should not charge. First they say 0% charge and once loan started they saying 4.60%.
Government Police Ministry of Company affairs Law Board Income Tax and ROC should look into it. Otherwise remove the permission to do the business of Bajaj.

can we take any legal action for this foreclosure charges
I am facing the same issue. Even if we go any legal, we can't win. They have drafted their T&C in such a way that always favour them. The best we can do is not to take any loan from Bajaj and also should educate all our friends, relatives, colleagues not to avail any form of loan from Bajaj.

That is absolutely right their collection team reach to your home if you fail to pay EMI without your intimation and harassed them too.Better lets educate and inform to our beloved one and friends not to dealt with this company if you really want peace in your life.
That is right. I am one of the victims now.

Yes we have to go legally. Tomorrow any bank can increase any charges at any time.
Middle class like us only suffers. Already paying the prescribed & planned EMI amount it self a big task. Where can we go for this huge extra charges?
Pl. all o[censored]s should join in one voice, so that we could understand what is going on in loan lending...

Guys,
Don't go for foreclosure, go for part payment as the charges of part payment are half than foreclosure charges.
Do the maximum part payment and let the loan gets matured/close automatically in one or two months only. You will get the 50% benefit in charges.
Foreclosure charges : 4% + GST = 4.72%
Part Payment charges: 2% + GST = 2.36%
Maximum limit of Part Payment : Outstanding Principle - 1 EMI
Hope this will be helpful for you.

Bajaj Finserv is a NBFC and there is an RBI notification in 2014 or so directing all Banks and NBFC not to levy foreclosure charges.
But despite repeated requests Bajaj Finserv is adamant in not waiving off the foreclosure charges. They are not even willing to reduce it to 2%.
Very unprofessional company, which refuses to be bound by even RBI directives.
RBI should intervene

Hello everyone,
Pravin K Shinde, thanks for the suggestion on making part payment instead of the foreclosure.
I was going through many legal sites to see if consumers can made to pay any amounts by builders, shops or any other merchants etc.
I found one interesting point in case of builders mentioning in the agreements that if the bookings are cancelled full booking amount will be forfeited.
There was a ruling from Nation Consumer Forum, mentioning that no builder can forfeit amount more than 10%.

I am relying on the above ruling from the NCF and Mr. Srinivasa Ramanujan's point mentioning the RBI notification in 2014 or so directing all Banks and NBFC not to levy foreclosure charges.
I think if we make up a team and file a case against BFL in the consumer court and share the costs, we might win the case.
But before that can some one verify if that 2014 RBI notification is still valid?
We could make a whatsapp group to discuss this matter further.

I am also facing the same issue, just when I was about to foreclose.
From zero percent they have increased to 4.6% suddenly.
I am considering taking legal action
