?Which word?
Do not confuse a loan write-off (the bank removes the loan from its accounts but may still try to recover it) and a loan waiver (the borrower no longer has to pay it).
Loan write-off (बैंक ऋण को अपने खातों से हटा देता है पर वसूली की कोशिश जारी रख सकता है) और loan waiver (कर्ज़दार को ऋण चुकाना ही नहीं पड़ता) को एक न समझें।
