A loan against property (LAP) is a secured loan where a borrower uses their residential property as collateral. The loan amount is typically 40-60% of the property's market value. To qualify, applicants must be between 24-65 years old and provide proof of identity, income, residence, and property ownership. Common documents include ID proof, income tax returns, bank statements, lease agreements, and a guarantor form. LAPs can be structured as term loans with EMIs or as overdraft facilities. Axis Bank will decide on applications within 30 days if all required documents are provided. LAPs are also available to salaried NRIs.
