DRT Allahabad — Jurisdiction, Address & Filing Details
DRT Allahabad is the Debt Recovery Tribunal with territorial jurisdiction over Prayagraj, Kaushambi, Fatehpur and 4 additional districts. The tribunal operates under the Recovery of Debts and Bankruptcy Act, 1993 and hears Original Applications, Section 19(7) interim attachment applications, and Section 17 SARFAESI challenges filed within its jurisdiction. DRT Allahabad (Prayagraj) sits in India's judicial capital. The Allahabad High Court — one of the world's largest high courts — exercises active supervisory jurisdiction over all UP and Uttarakhand DRT matters. DRAT Allahabad is also located here, handling appeals from DRT Lucknow, DRT Allahabad, DRT Jaipur, and DRT Chandigarh.
DRT Allahabad exercises jurisdiction over Prayagraj, Kaushambi, Fatehpur, Banda, Chitrakoot, Mirzapur, and Sonbhadra. Identifying the correct DRT bench before filing is critical — a mismatch in territorial jurisdiction will result in return of the OA and wasted court fees. Unified Chambers verifies jurisdictional competency before filing any application.
Prayagraj hosts both DRT Allahabad and DRAT Allahabad — making it the single most important appellate centre for North and Central India debt recovery. Practitioners who appear before DRT Allahabad automatically have proximity to DRAT, which reduces the cost and time of pursuing appeal strategy compared to benches where DRT and DRAT are in different cities.

NPA & Debt Recovery Context in Allahabad
Allahabad's NPA accounts at DRT Allahabad are primarily concentrated in educational institutions, real estate (Prayagraj expansion), agro processing, mining and quarrying. Understanding the local security profile — whether the primary security is immovable property, plant and machinery, or commodity stock — determines the optimal enforcement route between SARFAESI and RDDB Act proceedings.
At DRT Allahabad, practitioners should plan for a realistic timeline of 14–22 months; DRAT Allahabad is co-located. Interim attachment orders under Section 19(7) of the RDDB Act can be sought on an urgent basis at the time of filing the Original Application. Contested matters with Section 17 SARFAESI cross-applications take longer. Unified Chambers manages the full proceedings lifecycle — from OA drafting and urgent attachment applications through to Recovery Certificate execution and auction — at this bench.
