One Time Settlement lets a poultry farmer close a stressed loan for a reduced, agreed lump sum. Here is how it works and how to prepare.
How poultry loan OTS works
In an OTS, the bank agrees to accept a reduced amount to fully close the account. The reduction typically covers part of the accrued interest and penalties rather than the core principal.
The offer, amount, and timeline are decided by the bank. A well-documented hardship case and a credible repayment source improve your position.
Documents and steps
Gather loan statements, notices received, proof of hardship (disease outbreak, bird mortality, price collapse), and identity documents. Submit a written settlement request and negotiate the terms in writing.
Frequently asked questions
How much reduction can I expect in a poultry loan OTS?
There is no fixed figure — it depends on the bank's policy, your account status, and hardship. Reductions usually apply to interest and penalties.
