A mortgage deed plays a pivotal role in securing your home loan and protecting the interests of both the lender and yourself. The lender hands this out at the time of home loan sanction and you have to sign it along with a deposit, called the MoD. Think of it as an assurance for the lender that they have received the title deed of the property being financed and have the right to recover the loan amount or claim the property should you default.
In this guide, we'll delve into all aspects related to MoD in home loans in India so you have more clarity on the charges associated with your home loan.
The full form of MoD is Memorandum of Deposit. It is a sum that you pay to the lender along with the title deed of your new property in exchange for a home loan. It establishes a lien on the property being financed, offering the lender legal rights to take possession and sell the property in case the borrower defaults on the loan.
When you sign the mortgage deed, you are essentially allowing the lender to share property ownership till you repay the entire loan amount.
Some other important details are:
MoD registration charges for a home loan
The creation of the Mortgage Deed adds to the overall charges in a home loan application. The MoD typically ranges from 0.1% to 0.5% of the loan amount. This percentage may vary depending on the lending institution, so be sure to check with them. However, it cannot exceed Rs 25,000, irrespective of the loan you are borrowing.
No refunds once paid
The MoD deposit, unfortunately, is not refundable. Unlike some other fees in the home loan process, MoD in home loan charges are a one-time, non-refundable expense. Once you've paid these charges for the creation of the Mortgage Deed, they are not returned to you under any circumstances.
Mandatory inclusion
Creating a Mortgage Deed is not optional when taking out a home loan in India. It is a legal requirement that safeguards the interests of the lender, so they can recover their money in case of default.
In effect till repayment
The Mortgage Deed remains in effect for the duration of the home loan. Once you've successfully repaid the loan, including principal and interest, the lender will release the lien on your property. This involves obtaining a 'No Objection Certificate' (NOC) from the lender, which signifies full loan repayment and the removal of the mortgage charge from your property's records.
One-time payment
MoD charges are a one-time payment. You pay them at the time of creating the Mortgage Deed when you initially secure your home loan. These charges are not recurring expenses, and they are separate from your monthly EMI (Equated Monthly Installment) payments.
The Mortgage Deed is a legally binding document that serves as security for your loan. With MoD charges being a one-time, non-refundable expense, it's crucial to budget for them alongside other home-buying costs. Ideally, the lender cancels the mortgage deed as soon as you have repaid the whole loan amount. You will be notified upon achieving complete ownership once this is done.

Registering for a home loan with the Ministry of Defence (MoD) usually involves a legal document that is prepared by a legal expert. This document is then registered with the local Sub-Registrar of Assurances or other relevant authorities to establish a legal charge on the property as collateral for the loan. The loan is approved only after the borrower has signed this document.
Yes, home loan balance transfers also include MoD charges. A balance transfer is essentially closing your loan account with your current lender and starting a new one with a different lender. And every new loan account charges MoD.
Charges associated with a home loan may include processing fees, stamp duty on loan agreements, registration charges for property documents, and Mortgage Deed (MoD) charges, among others.
The processing fee of a home loan is charged by the lender for loan processing, while the MoD (Mortgage Deed) fee is a separate charge for legally securing the loan against the property.
