Will you go to jail if you are sued for a loan?

If the loan owed to the bank is not enough, it is a civil dispute and will not go to jail. However, the debtor is suspected of loan fraud, that is, defrauding banks or other financial institutions for the purpose of illegal possession. If the amount is large, he needs to bear criminal responsibility and may go to jail.

1. According to Article 193 of the Criminal Law, anyone who defrauds a bank or other financial institution of loans for the purpose of illegal possession under any of the following circumstances, if the amount is relatively large, shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than five years or criminal detention, and shall also be fined not less than 20,000 yuan but not more than 200,000 yuan; If the amount is huge or there are other serious circumstances, he shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than five years but not more than ten years, and shall also be fined not less than 50,000 yuan but not more than 500,000 yuan; If the amount is especially huge or there are other especially serious circumstances, he shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than 10 years or life imprisonment, and shall also be fined not less than 50,000 yuan but not more than 500,000 yuan or confiscated property:

(a) fabricating false reasons such as introducing funds and projects;

(two) the use of false economic contracts;

(3) using false documents;

(four) the use of false proof of property rights as a guarantee or repeated guarantee beyond the value of collateral;

(5) obtaining loans by other means.

2. Loan (electronic receipt credit loan) is simply understood as borrowing money with interest. Loan is a form of credit activity in which banks or other financial institutions lend monetary funds at a certain interest rate and must return them. Loans in a broad sense refer to loans, discounts, overdrafts and other borrowing funds. Banks put concentrated money and monetary funds out through loans, which can meet the needs of social expansion and reproduction and promote economic development. At the same time, banks can also obtain loan interest income and increase their own accumulation.

3. The "three principles" refer to safety, liquidity and efficiency, and are the fundamental principles of commercial banks' loan operation. Article 4 of People's Republic of China (PRC) Commercial Bank Law stipulates: "Commercial banks should operate independently, bear their own risks, be responsible for their own profits and losses, and be self-disciplined, and take safety, liquidity and efficiency as their operating principles.
