Key Demands

Debt Management Program

Write off a portion of the debt, restructure the remaining balance to be affordable, and set fixed repayment terms with collection and legal actions ceasing during the program.
The program should be accessible to all individuals struggling with unsecured debt, including credit card debt, personal loans, and other forms of consumer and business debt.

Protection Measures

Stringent regulations to curb irresponsible lending practices by financial institutions. Lenders should be required to assess the borrower’s ability to repay before granting loans.
Penalties should be imposed on financial institutions that engage in predatory lending practices, with oversight from regulatory bodies.
The program should provide legal protection from such harassment once a debtor is enrolled.

Financial Education

Ensure access to financial literacy resources and financial advisory services.

These resources should be made widely accessible, with a focus on vulnerable communities that are most at risk of falling into debt.

Proposal to Address the Debt Trap Crisis in India

Why this petition matters:

The petition seeks to protect individuals trapped in unmanageable debt by
• Advocating for a national movement to support individuals trapped in unmanageable debt.
• Propose a structured debt management program to reduce debt burdens based on the individual’s financial capacity.
• Stop harassment, collection calls and legal actions
This program would involve
• Writing off a fair percentage of the debt
• Restructuring the remaining balance debt according to the individual’s affordability
• Call for stronger regulations to prevent irresponsible lending practices that contribute to the debt trap in India.

Why now

• Millions in India face crushing debt from high-interest loans and credit card obligations.
• Lack of accessible debt management options perpetuates poverty cycles with financial and mental stress.

India urgently needs this type of program to support its citizens and the growth potential of the backbone of our economy – individuals and MSMEs

Call to Action

We call on the Indian government, the Reserve Bank of India, and financial institutions to take immediate action to address the debt crisis in India. 

  • Push for legislation to implement debt management solutions and regulate predatory lending practices.
  • Support citizens and MSMEs, strengthening the economy by reducing the debt burden on the nation’s financial backbone.
  • Build an educated and stable future for the Indian economy.

By signing this petition, you are supporting a movement to protect individuals from the devastating impact of debt crisis with financial and mental hardship. Together, we can call for a fairer and more supportive financial system for everyone, building an economically stable Indian economy.

It’s Time To Breathe Again!
