The Transfer of Property Act, 1882 defines various types of mortgages. Our mortgage lawyer in Kolkata explains: simple mortgage (property pledged without possession), mortgage by conditional sale (property ostensibly sold with condition of repurchase), usufructuary mortgage (possession transferred to mortgagee), English mortgage (property transferred absolutely with condition of reconveyance), mortgage by deposit of title deeds (equitable mortgage — common in Kolkata), anomalous mortgage (combination of different types). Each type has different legal implications for both mortgagor (borrower) and mortgagee (lender). Understanding the type is crucial for rights and remedies.

When taking a home loan, the property is mortgaged to the bank. Our mortgage lawyer in Kolkata handles the complete documentation process. For a registered mortgage (under Section 59 of Transfer of Property Act), the mortgage deed must be registered with the Sub-Registrar. For an equitable mortgage (by deposit of title deeds), only title deeds are deposited with the bank — no registration is needed in Kolkata. We review the loan agreement and mortgage deed, ensure all terms are clear and fair, verify the property title before mortgage, handle registration with the Sub-Registrar, and advise on stamp duty and registration charges.
Mortgage disputes can arise between borrower and lender or between multiple claimants. Our mortgage lawyer in Kolkata handles mortgage disputes including disputes about whether a mortgage was validly created, priority disputes between multiple mortgages (who gets paid first), redemption disputes (borrower's right to repay and reclaim property), foreclosure actions by banks, claims of fraudulent mortgage, disputes about mortgage of joint property, and claims for mesne profits. We represent both borrowers and lenders in mortgage litigation before civil courts, DRT, and tribunals.
A mortgagee (lender) has specific rights if the borrower defaults. Our mortgage lawyer in Kolkata advises lenders on their remedies including the right to sue for the mortgage money (file a civil suit for recovery), the right to sale without court intervention (under SARFAESI Act for banks), the right to appoint a receiver (to collect rents and profits), the right to foreclose (take absolute ownership in English mortgage), and the right to possession (in usufructuary mortgage). Banks typically prefer SARFAESI proceedings for faster recovery. We also advise on enforcement of mortgage rights under the Securitisation and Reconstruction of Financial Assets and Enforcement of Security Interest Act.
A mortgagor (borrower) has the right to redeem the mortgage — repay the loan and reclaim the property. Our mortgage lawyer in Kolkata protects borrowers' rights. The right of redemption can be enforced by filing a redemption suit under Section 60 of the Transfer of Property Act. Once the loan is repaid, the borrower is entitled to the return of title deeds and a clean title. We defend borrowers against improper foreclosure proceedings, challenge illegal SARFAESI actions, negotiate one-time settlements with banks, and file complaints before banking ombudsman for unfair practices.
In Kolkata, equitable mortgage by deposit of title deeds is a common form of mortgage for loans. Our mortgage lawyer in Kolkata handles equitable mortgage creation and enforcement. For equitable mortgage, the borrower deposits the original title deeds with the lender with the intention of creating security. No written mortgage deed or registration is required. However, a memorandum of deposit is usually prepared. The lender can enforce the mortgage by filing a suit for sale. We handle creation of equitable mortgages, enforcement, and disputes. Equitable mortgages are valid only in specified cities including Kolkata.
Our mortgage lawyer in Kolkata handles all aspects of mortgage law — from creation to enforcement to dispute resolution. We serve both borrowers and lenders with clear advice and effective representation. Contact us at +91 74398 11422 for a consultation.
