Features of a Loan Against Property

With a Loan Against Property or LAP, as it is popularly known, you can unlock the value of your asset with a mortgage and receive funds to fulfil personal and professional needs. Most banks and NBFCs offer loans against property or property mortgages and are happy to forward large amounts with security in hand. Individuals are also content to receive the amount as desired.

The flexible repayment term of 1 to 15 years for a Loan against property allows an applicant to repay the loan amount according to their financial eligibility to afford the EMI. An applicant can work out a suitable EMI with the help of a Personal Loan EMI calculator online. A foreclosure is permitted after paying 12 EMI with no extra charge.

The interest rate for an LAP is lower than that of unsecured loans. For a mortgage, Banks offer the option of a fixed rate or charge interest at a floating rate linked to the PLR or the Prime lending rate of the RBI (Reserve Bank of India). With the change in RBI norms, an applicant can take advantage of a reduced interest rate over the tenure.

An applicant can use the funds received via an LAP to fulfil obligations such as further education expenses for self or family, renovating or reconstructing your home, dealing with medical emergencies, and even debt consolidation for credit cards that attract a high interest rate. A Loan Against Property enables you to fund your new business and provide finance for further expansion.

The need for finance comes unasked. It can be a business need or a medical emergency. In these situations, the hour's need is conveniently met with a loan against your self-owned property. Rather than sell an asset created with hard work and perseverance, you can raise the amount needed and keep your property's ownership intact.

A Loan Against Property offers a length of credit with a tenure of up to 15 years. An on-time repayment credit record of EMI paid over time portrays the applicant's ability to manage credit. This will help create a steady credit rating and CIBIL score, which helps to secure further credit when required at a reasonable interest rate.

Tax relief for salaried individuals: Individuals can claim tax benefits if the amount received as a loan against property is used to buy a new home or renovate or construct their existing home.
Tax relief for self-employed: Funds used for business purposes are eligible for tax redemption, which can be claimed against the interest paid on the Loan amount and other charges such as processing fees and insurance.
No tax relief is provided if the Loan amount issued against a property mortgage is used for marriage, further education or other personal funding.
