Why you think they cannot ?

A company based in any part of India can enforce their security interest in any other part of the India, without any restrictions.

So a mumbai based ARC can enforce its security interest in Chennai based property. There is no embargo.

However, if you are asking about territorial jurisdiction of the court, then yes, mumbai company will have to go to Chennai court to enforce the recovery. Such proceedings have to be filed in Chennai only and not mumbai.

However this is subject to following (1) Cause of action, (2) Regd. office of Chennai Company is based, (3) Place were Loan transactions being executed.
