Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Mortgage, Pledge , Hypothecation and Security Document legal templates

What types of security documents are included in this directory?

Templates include simple, English, usufructuary, and conditional-sale mortgages; equitable mortgages (deposit of title deeds) with records/memoranda; second and transfer of mortgage; reconveyance/release; deeds creating charge; pledge and hypothecation agreements; facility letters, letters of comfort, and trust receipts.

What is an equitable mortgage by deposit of title deeds?

It is a security created by depositing original title deeds with a lender (often in notified towns). Parties may execute a memorandum/record, with stamp/registration varying by state.

How does a simple mortgage differ from an English mortgage?

A simple mortgage creates a charge without transferring ownership; an English mortgage transfers property absolutely to the mortgagee with an obligation to re-convey on full repayment.

When is a usufructuary mortgage used?

When the mortgagee takes possession and enjoys rents/profits towards interest or principal, typically without personal liability of the mortgagor.

What is the difference between pledge and hypothecation?

Pledge involves delivery of possession of movables to secure a debt; hypothecation creates a charge over movables without transferring possession, commonly used for bank credit to businesses.

What documents evidence an equitable mortgage?

A declaration in support of equitable mortgage and a memorandum/record of deposit of title deeds, along with the original title chain, loan terms, and KYC. Companies must file charge particulars with the ROC.

What is a reconveyance or release of mortgage?

After full repayment, the mortgagee executes a reconveyance/release deed to clear the encumbrance and retransfer title, which may require stamping/registration.

What is a facility letter and letter of comfort?

A facility letter records sanctioned credit terms (limits, pricing, security, covenants). A letter of comfort is a sponsor/parent’s assurance, typically non-binding unless expressly stated.

When is a second mortgage or transfer of mortgage used?

A second mortgage secures additional debt over already mortgaged property. A transfer of mortgage assigns the mortgagee’s rights to another lender, preserving priority per law and contract.

What is a trust receipt given by a pawnor?

It allows the borrower to retain/use pledged goods under trust in favour of the bank, acknowledging the bank’s security interest and undertaking to account for proceeds/return goods.
