Before you go for a mortgage, ensure to check the 6 mortgage types. Let find them out now!
What are mortgage loans
Section 58 a of the TRANSFER OF PROPERTY ACT, 1882, defines mortgage as, mortgage is the transfer of an interest in specific immovable property for the purpose of securing the payment of money advanced or to be advanced by way of loan, an existing or future debt, or the performance of an engagement which may give rise to a pecuniary liability. The bold letters signifies the essential elements for the creation of valid mortgage in favor of the lender over the immoveable property.
Types of Mortgages:
There are six kinds of mortgages which are detailed as under:
1. Simple Mortgage: It has below characteristics:-
i That the mortgagor must have bound himself personally to repay the loan
ii That to secure the loan he has transferred to the mortgagee the right to have the specific immovable property sold in the event of his having failed to repay
iii That the possession of the property is not delivered to the lender.
2. Mortgage by Conditional Sale: It defined as a situation, where the mortgagor ostensibly sells the mortgaged property
i on the condition that on default of payment of the mortgage money loan on a certain date the sale shall become absolute or
ii on condition that on such payment being made the sale shall become void or,
iii on the condition that in such payment being made the buyer shall transfer the property to the seller,
PROVIDED that no such transaction shall be deemed to be a mortgage, unless the condition is embodied in the document which affects or purports to affect the sale
This kind of mortgage came into vogue in India during Muslim rule and was given legal recognition in the Bengal Regulation Act, 1978.
3. Unsufructuary Mortgage: It has below characteristics:-
i That the possession of the property is delivered to the mortgagee;
ii That the mortgagee is to get rents and profits in lieu of the interest or principal or both;
iii That no personal liability is incurred by the mortgagor and
iv The mortgagee cannot foreclose or sue for sale.
v That no time limit can be fixed expressly during which the mortgage is to subsist.
This is not prevalent in India
4. English Mortgage: It has below characteristics:-
i That the mortgagor should bind himself to repay the mortgage money/loan on a certain day;
ii That the mortgaged property should be transferred absolutely to the mortgagee ; and
iii That such absolute transfer should be made subject to a proviso that the mortgagee will recover the property to the mortgagor, upon the payment by him of the mortgage money on the appointed day
The difference between the mortgage by conditional sale and English mortgage is that in English mortgage, the mortgagor binds him personally to repay the money.
5. Mortgage by Deposit of Title Deeds:
In England and popularly in India, this mortgage is called the equitable mortgage. Under the definition under Section 58 f of Transfer of Property Act, 1882, the essential requisites of such mortgage are:
i a debt should be there
ii deposit of the title deed with the lender most essential
iii said deposit is with intention that the said title deed shall be security for the debt.
Section 96 of the Transfer of Property Act, 1882 places mortgages by deposit of title deeds on the same footings as simple mortgages. As such, the security can, like a simple mortgage can be enforced by a suit for sale of mortgaged property, of course, by the process of the law. And this kind of mortgage does not require registration and is at par with any other legal mortgage.
6. Anamolous Mortgage:
A mortgage which is not a simple mortgage, a mortgage by conditional sale, an usufructuary, an English mortgage or a mortgage by deposit of title deeds within the meaning of Section 58 of Transfer of Property Act is an Anomalous mortgage.
