3. Introduction
• The term ‘loan against property’ refers to a situation in which the
borrower takes a loan from a bank or financial institution where the
security for the loan is a property that is owned by the borrower.
• The nature of the property will determine the amount of the loan
that is possible and the extent of the amount of the loan that is
actually available at a certain point of time.
• Availing of a loan against property ensures that the necessary
borrowing is completed with the security being created and that
the funds are available for the necessary use at a low interest rate.
• The interest rate is lower than other loan interest rates because the

property element makes it a type of secured loan.
4. Amounts of the loan
• Amounts of loan vary with banks or financial institutions.
• There can also be further distinctions within a category based upon
the location of the property and the person taking the loan.
• Usually, the minimum amount of the loan against property that is
given by various banks start at Rs 1 lakh. When it comes to the
maximum amount side, there is a lower maximum limit as far as the
rural areas are concerned because the figure here is likely to be
restricted in the range of Rs 5 lakh-Rs 10 lakh. On the other
hand, the maximum amount figure when it comes to other areas
including urban areas is usually pegged at a limit of Rs 100 lakh or
Rs 1 crore. Most loansTrainings by loansBhagwat property will be

5. Amounts of the loan
• There are also conditions with respect to the repayment of
the loan or the period for which the loan will be in existence.
• Most banks also keep an upper ceiling as far as the period for
the repayment of the loan is concerned and due to this
reason the repayment schedule for the borrower will also be
impacted.
• In most cases, the banks will not go beyond 84 equated
monthly instalments or a 7-year time period though in reality

16. Nature of borrowing
• Loan against property can be a boon for the people who have an
asset with them but do not have the necessary amount of funds
that can be used for their specific requirements.
• In such a condition, a loan against property can help them borrow
funds and then use this amount for the required purposes. If the
individual goes and borrows money from an unsecured source like a
personal loan or on a credit card, then the borrowing will be costly
for him/her. This is because a low interest rate is not possible in
these borrowings that cost much higher than several other
options, including loan against property.
• This will push up the cost of the borrowing for the individual and
will also restrict the amount thatVidya Bhagwatborrow and it might
Trainings by he/she can
leave the original objective of getting a loan at low interest rate
unachieved.
17. Nature of borrowing
• This might also give rise to a position where the borrower comes
under a large amount of strain in the process of repaying back the
amount that has been borrowed from these sources at an
exorbitant rate of interest.
• In case of a loan against property there is an asset available with
the individual in the nature of a property which can be put to better
use. Instead of borrowing from an unsecured source the individual
would do well to take a loan against property.
• This will ensure that the property is taken as a security and then the
bank gives a loan against this. The presence of the security will
reduce the rate of interest that is charged on the loan and various
other conditions will also be less strict, so this will ensure that the
borrowing is possible and that too at an affordable rate. This also
changes the nature of Trainings by Vidya because it is against a secured
the borrowing Bhagwat
asset and hence becomes a secured loan.
