Every step above rests on a specific law or RBI instrument. Cite these by name when you complain — a grievance that names its provision is handled differently from one that doesn't.
The foundational conduct rules for recovery agents — the lender remains responsible for its agents’ behaviour, and intimidation or humiliation in recovery is a violation you complain about to the LENDER and RBI, not just the agent.
Bars harassment in recovery: no odd-hour calls, no muscle power, no humiliation. A named FPC breach is the strongest single line in a harassment grievance.
Threats, contact-list shaming and morphed images are crimes, independent of the loan. Police/cybercrime complaints run in parallel with the RBI track — one does not wait for the other.
Your contacts and photos were collected for KYC, not for shaming campaigns. Using them for recovery pressure is processing beyond consented purpose — citable in complaints to the lender and the regulator.
This is general legal information about public statutes and RBI instruments, not legal advice for your specific case.
