Dear Sir / Madam,
You are following the right procedure. In case of default in repayment, you will fill and deposit each signed cheque in the Bank, If it is dishonoured, you will lodge a Police complaint and recovery suit as per Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act, 1938 against the loan defaulter. In new instances, it is advisable to include a family member of the main borrower as the joint holder of the loan.
Regards,
