Vinod Enterprises Raises Concerns Over Alleged Vehicle Repossession and Proposed Sale by Sundaram Finance

A dispute has emerged between Vinod Enterprises and Sundaram Finance after the borrower alleged irregularities in the repossession and proposed sale of commercial vehicles financed under loan facilities availed from the company.

According to Vinod Enterprises, represented by proprietor Mr. Vinubhai Chanabhai Zapadiya, loans were availed from Sundaram Finance under Loan Account Nos. T007500085 and T007500083 for commercial vehicles used in transport operations.

The borrower alleges that a recent notice was issued proposing the sale of the vehicles for approximately ₹10,00,000 to the highest bidder. However, Vinubhai claims that he expressed his willingness to arrange and pay the proposed amount in an effort to retain and regularize the vehicles. Despite this, he alleges that his request was not considered.

According to the borrower, a manager identified as Mr. Nirmal allegedly informed him that the vehicles would instead be sold to a person of his choice. Vinubhai alleges that this statement raised serious concerns regarding fairness, transparency and the manner in which the proposed sale process was being conducted.

Vinod Enterprises further alleges that possession of both vehicles was taken without proper due process being followed. The borrower maintains that the vehicles are essential business assets and that their loss would have a severe impact on ongoing transport operations and the livelihood of individuals dependent on the business.

Adding to the controversy, Vinod Enterprises alleges that after taking possession of the vehicles, communications were sent to Indian Oil Corporation Limited, Rajkot, a client to whom transport services were being provided. The borrower claims that such communications have interfered with existing business relationships and have adversely affected the company’s reputation and commercial operations.

The matter raises broader questions regarding borrower rights, repossession procedures and the obligations of financial institutions to ensure transparency and fairness while enforcing security interests. Legal experts note that repossession and sale of financed assets should be conducted in accordance with applicable contractual terms, regulatory requirements and principles of natural justice.

Vinod Enterprises has called for an independent review of the matter and seeks a fair opportunity to regularize the loan account and retain the vehicles that form the backbone of its transport business.

At the time of publication, no response or statement from Sundaram Finance regarding the allegations had been made available. As these allegations remain disputed, readers should note that they reflect the borrower’s version of events and have not been independently verified.
