It is a secured type of loan where you use your property as collateral to get funds. The property can be a house or residence where you are currently residing, a rented property, and a piece of land or any building under construction.
An essential condition is that the property should be free to pledge as collateral, and its title should be clear.
Who can avail a LAP?
Any private firm, partnership firm, self-employed or a salaried individual who can arrange for and pledge property as collateral can avail this loan. As it is a secured loan, the rate of interest applicable to it is lower than the interest rates on any other loans, like a personal loan. Depending upon whether you are a self-employed or a salaried individual, you need to submit some documents and carry out all the procedure for the loan application.
