What is a Loan Against Property?
A Loan Against Property (LAP), also known as a mortgage loan, is emerging as a preferred option when it comes to availing of a sizeable portion of finance. The most appealing part about a property loan is that you can spend the loan sum for housing or business-related needs, or for debt consolidation.
In simple terms, it is a secured loan that an individual can obtain from a lender with a residential or commercial property kept as collateral. The property is an asset that acts as a security for the lender.

Things to Remember Before Applying for a Loan Against Property
When you apply for a Loan Against Property, your eligibility is first taken into consideration. Some of the factors that constitute your eligibility is your age, nature of employment, nature of income, and of course, the value of the property against which you are applying for a loan. Based on the above factors and a few more, your loan application will either be accepted or rejected. The Loan Against Property interest rates start as low as 9.40%* p.a. for self-employed individuals and can go up to 18.00%* p.a. depending upon your credit score and other contributing factors.
Interest Rate
The Property Loan interest rates are often competitive, owing to their secured nature. Here are some factors that affect the interest rate you stand to get on your Loan Against Property.
1. Credit score
The credit score is a representation of an individual’s credit health. While determining the interest rate, lenders consider the credit score to arrive at a suitable rate.
2. Income Profile
An individual’s income profile is also assessed, as it mirrors their repayment capacity. Lenders take it into before they offer the loan terms to you.
Simple documentation and eligibility
There are two application categories for Loans Against Property:
- Salaried and Professional
- Self-Employed Applicants
However, it is important to note that the application process, fees, and necessary documents may vary from lender to lender.
1. Salaried Individuals
This is for individuals who are salaried employees of a public, private or a multinational organisation. An individual should ideally be a residing citizen of India, between the ages of 23 and 60 years**. Documents to be presented by these individuals include but are not restricted to:
- Valid proof or means of identification
- Mandatory documents such as PAN card or Form 60
- Proof of existing residence
- Last 3 months’ salary slips
- Bank statements for the last six months
2. Self-Employed Individuals
This category of individuals should be business owners, residing in India between the ages of 23 and 70 years** old. Documents to be presented by this category of individuals also include, but are not restricted to the following:
- Valid proof or means of identification
- Mandatory documents such as PAN card or Form 60
- Proof of business
- Proof of income from the existing business
- Bank statements for the last 6 months
Besides these necessary documents, the property of the applicant is also evaluated to determine the loan amount. Readers should note that this is a generic list, and the actual documentation requirements may vary depending on the lender.
**The upper age limit is considered as the age at the time of loan maturity. Additionally, the upper age limit for applicants is subject to change, depending on the property profile.
Repayment Tenor
Most lenders set the repayment period from 2–17 years. A tenor that stretches up to 17 years offers borrowers the flexibility to repay the loan at their own pace while making part-prepayments at no additional costs if they are individual borrowers with a floating interest rate loan.
