Loan Against Property Fees & Charges

A loan against property or mortgage loan considers your asset (real estate) and allows you to raise funding accordingly.

However, the borrower may have to incur additional costs apart from paying the principal and interest rate in full at the time of repayment. These additional costs usually make up for the services provided by your lender, deviation from the loan’s contract, penalties, or agreement fees.

As you can tell, the loan against property interest rate isn’t the only cost you have to pay while taking a LAP. Many lenders would lure in borrowers with quick disbursement promises or low-interest rates. However, they later charge them heavily with other costs, or worse, they refuse to cooperate. Consequently, you would not be able to do much else but play by their rules, given your real estate would now be in their seize.

It is, thus, a better idea to choose a lender who offers standard rates of interest but is transparent and reputed for proper borrower handling. Kotak Mahindra Bank is a reputed name in the banking and lending sector with thousands of happy customers in our lending books. We aspire to help you find your financial and business goals using our LAP, which comes at nominal and transparent fees.

We recommend our customers to not base their decision solely on the LAP interest rates. Secured loans have a lower interest rate. And since you have raised collateral, you would be getting a much lower interest on the loan than unsecured loans.

Please read the other applicable LAP charges. Given that you will pledge your hard-earned property’s documents in the mortgage loan, and your investment is in tow, you must read all the clauses and papers carefully.

General Questions

1. What are pre-payment charges for a LAP loan?

Various factors determine the principal and interest of a loan against property. The age and nature of your property, your income status and source, your age, and the amount you are seeking are some of the critical factors.

For more certainty, you can use the loan against property eligibility calculator here.

2. Which overdraft facilities do we get for mortgage loans?

As you will have a pre-payment fee in most cases, borrowers often see pre-payment unfavorably.

Though a borrower may have the finances to retire the loan entirely, they would continue to pay interest on it simply to avoid the additional pre-payment charges. However, retiring your debts is always a smart financial move.

Therefore, Kotak Mahindra Bank offers an overdraft (OD) facility to those who would like to get free of all debt and pay off their liability early.

OD on loan allows you to withdraw or deposit as and when you want. It is ideal for those who have variable incomes and want to utilize their periodic surplus to pay off the loan. The best part is you can always withdraw your surplus whenever you need it. But, having paid it up in advance would not attract pre-payment fees if you have an OD facility from your lender.

However, please note that loans with OD facilities do not qualify for an income tax rebate under Section 80C of the Income Tax Act, 1961. Moreover, they would also have a higher interest rate than loans without overdrafts or term loans.

For a loan against property, Kotak Mahindra bank gives its customers an option to choose the OD facility.

What is an overdraft facility for a mortgage loan?

There are two types of loans against property available with Kotak Mahindra Bank: Overdraft and Term loan.

In a term loan, you get a specific amount that you will have to pay at specific time intervals and a fixed interest rate. In the overdraft facility, one gets the option to choose when and if they want to withdraw. You only pay interest on the amount you withdraw, and that too, if repaid in 24 hours, attracts 0 interest. Moreover, with an overdraft facility, one can pay off their loan partly or in full beforehand without attracting additional charges.
