Loan against property is that loan that is given by a bank or financial institution when a Borrower mortgages his/her property to the bank. The loan is not equal to the whole market value of the property but is a fraction of it. The amount of the loan varies from 40% to 60 % of the total loan amount.
As the bank gets a security for providing you the loan, the loan is offered to you at a lower rate. A personal loan in India is given at a repayment interest rate of 13 to 25% where as the loan against property can be availed at a rate of 11% to 16% interest rate.
