DRT Pune exercises jurisdiction over Nashik, Dhule, Nandurbar, Jalgaon, and filed at DRT Pune. 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.
Nashik is Maharashtra's wine capital and largest grape-growing region, and NPA enforcement here involves vineyard mortgage and wine cellar plant hypothecation — agricultural asset classes where SARFAESI Section 13(4) enforcement requires specialist understanding of Maharashtra's Grapes and Wine Industry regulations and the Nashik DM's handling of agri-mortgages.

Nashik is one of many districts that DRT Pune covers, and that allocation is set by territorial-jurisdiction notification under the RDDB Act, not by convenience. Nashik is Maharashtra's wine capital and largest grape-growing region, and NPA enforcement here involves vineyard mortgage and wine cellar plant hypothecation — agricultural asset classes where SARFAESI Section 13(4) enforcement requires specialist understanding of Maharashtra's Grapes and Wine Industry regulations and the Nashik DM's handling of agri-mortgages. The realistic posture for a Nashik creditor is: file at DRT Pune, expect 6–10 listings to reach first contested hearing, plan to handle 60–70% of those listings through correspondence rather than physical appearance, and budget travel only for substantive arguments.
Sector profile shapes attachment strategy at DRT Pune more than most creditors anticipate. Accounts concentrated in wine and grape agro-processing, engineering and defence manufacturing, logistics and cold chain present three distinct realisation pathways: SARFAESI Section 13(4) for clean secured immovable property, Section 19(7) attachment for movable plant, stock, and receivables, and Section 7 IBC for corporate borrowers above the ₹1 crore default threshold. The choice between these is not a matter of preference — it is dictated by the security profile. Our case-intake protocol classifies the asset structure before recommending the forum sequence, which routinely shaves months off the timeline at DRT Pune.
Section 18 Limitation Act analysis often resurrects accounts that Nashik creditors had written off as time-barred. The acknowledgement does not need to be a fresh balance confirmation — courts have accepted OTS proposals, settlement letters, restructuring requests, account-statement signatures, and even WhatsApp correspondence from the borrower as valid Section 18 acknowledgements. For accounts originating from the wine and grape agro-processing sector in Nashik, the documentation pattern often includes guarantor renewals, security re-confirmations, and statement-of-account signatures that constitute fresh acknowledgements.
To file a DRT case for a Nashik matter, an Original Application (OA) under Section 19 of the Recovery of Debts and Bankruptcy Act, 1993 must be filed before DRT Pune.
