The company told the bank that they had nothing to do with the loan. "The United India Insurance Company took this stand after we spoke to the management on behalf of the employees," said Giddappa.
"We call HR departments to confirm if the employee is still working with them. There are occasions when we seek their help to convince the employee to repay.
But, we never seek the employee's sacking because once the person loses his job, he can't repay his dues. We would lose in such a situation," said R Nagaraj, manager, recovery, HDFC Bank.
