How can I legally recover my money?
I am 17 years old, and someone borrowed 600 rupees from me but hasn't paid it back. What easy steps can I take to recover the money, without involving my parents, but by threatening the person to return it?
Since you are a minor, enforcing a legal contract can be challenging, but you can still try informal legal methods. Politely remind the borrower of their obligation and set a deadline for repayment. If they refuse, you can warn them that you may escalate the matter by reporting it to their family, school authorities, or, if necessary, the local police under a general complaint. Avoid threats of violence or illegal actions, as that could put you in legal trouble.
As a 17-year-old, you cannot legally take independent action to recover money or make threats, as you are considered a minor in India. Instead, try resolving the matter calmly by requesting the person to return the money. You can also send a polite written notice. After turning 18, you can file a small claims case or take legal action with the support of a guardian. It is advised to consult an expert lawyer who will assist you with the best course of action.
