Collection Operations and Recovery Strategy
Operations items test account prioritization, call planning, visit documentation, negotiation, settlement authority, repayment plan, credit counselling, difficult borrower handling and recovery follow-up.
How to study for IIBF DRA
Treat every item as a regulated recovery interaction: connect banking product, borrower record, security, repayment history, recovery law, DRA code of conduct, communication style and complaint escalation.
Core concepts
Concept 1
Collection Operations and Recovery Strategy questions reward reading the official India source, role boundary, and stated facts together.
Exam cue: Identify the regulator, role, resident or client fact, document, and timing cue.
Concept 2
The strongest answer identifies the rule, resident or client risk, disclosure, calculation, document, or workflow step before acting.
Exam cue: Check whether the question asks about the certification exam, renewal/CPE, field workflow, or compliance decision.
Concept 3
Eliminate answers that skip India-specific requirements or put convenience above compliance.
Exam cue: Choose the official-process answer before the familiar shortcut.

Call Plan
Collection calls should be planned from account facts, authority and customer context.
Visit Note
Field visits should record date, person met, discussion, promise and next action.
Settlement Authority
Settlement or waiver offers need bank authorization, not agent discretion alone.
Repayment Plan
A practical repayment plan should match verified cash flow and bank-approved terms.
Follow-Up
Follow-up should be documented and professional, not coercive or excessive.
