Chapter 01

What is a loan against property?

A loan against property (LAP) lets you borrow money by pledging a property you already own — a flat, house, shop or office. You continue to live in or use the property. The lender holds its documents until the loan is repaid.

Because the loan is secured, you can borrow larger amounts at lower rates than a personal or business loan, and use the money for almost any purpose: business expansion, a child’s education, a wedding, medical costs or paying off expensive debts.

Chapter 02

How much can you borrow?

  • 01

    Residential (home, flat)

    Typical loan as share of value
    60% – 70%
  • 02

    Commercial (shop, office)

    Typical loan as share of value
    50% – 60%
  • 03

    Industrial / special-use

    Typical loan as share of value
    40% – 50%

The final amount also depends on your income and existing EMIs. A property with clear title and approved plans gets the best terms.

Chapter 03

An example

ExampleRakesh needs ₹50 lakh to expand his shop
Value of his flat
₹1.2 crore
Loan sanctioned (about 42%)
₹50 lakh
Interest rate (illustrative)
10% a year
Term
15 years
Monthly EMI
About ₹53,700

A business loan of the same size would typically cost 15–18% a year and need repaying in 3–5 years.

Chapter 04

Documents you’ll need

  • PAN and Aadhaar of all owners
  • Income proof: salary slips / ITRs and business accounts
  • 12 months’ bank statements
  • Property title chain, sale deed and approved building plan
  • Latest property tax receipt and society NOC
  • Details of any existing loans

Chapter 05

Things to be careful about

  • Missing EMIs puts the property at risk — borrow only what you can repay comfortably
  • Use the money for productive purposes, not routine spending
  • Compare processing fees and valuation charges along with the rate
  • Floating-rate loans to individuals have no prepayment penalty

Questions

Good toknow.

Can I get a loan against a property that is jointly owned?

Yes — all owners must be co-applicants and sign the loan documents.

Can I take LAP on a property that already has a home loan?

Some lenders offer a top-up or a combined loan on the same property once a good repayment record is built.

Is the interest tax-deductible?

If the money is used for business, the interest can be claimed as a business expense. If used to buy or build another home, home-loan tax rules may apply. Ask your tax adviser.
