An appeal against an order of the Debts Recovery Tribunal under the Recovery of Debts and Bankruptcy Act, 1993, lies to the Debts Recovery Appellate Tribunal within -

Section 20(3) of the Recovery of Debts and Bankruptcy Act, 1993 prescribes that an appeal against an order of the Debts Recovery Tribunal must be filed within thirty days from the date on which a copy of the order is received by the appellant, and the proviso allows the Debts Recovery Appellate Tribunal to condone the delay on sufficient cause being shown. The forty-five-day period that existed earlier was shortened to thirty days by the Enforcement of Security Interest and Recovery of Debts Laws (Amendment) Act, 2016, which came into force on 1 September 2016. A borrower's appeal is additionally subject to the pre-deposit requirement of Section 21, and no appeal lies against an order made with the consent of the parties under Section 20(2).
