Loan Against Property Documents: Personal, Income and Property Papers

A loan against property (LAP) needs your personal documents, income proof and – most importantly – clear property papers. The property check is what takes the most time, so start with it.

1. KYC

PAN, Aadhaar and address proof of every applicant and every owner of the property.

2. Income proof

  • Salaried: 3 months' salary slips, 6 months' bank statement, Form 16 or ITR.
  • Self-employed: 2 to 3 years' ITR with computation, P&L and balance sheet, 12 months' bank statements, GST returns, business proof.

3. Property papers

  • Registered sale deed or title deed.
  • Chain of previous title documents (often for the last 13 to 30 years, as the lender's lawyer asks).
  • Approved building plan and occupancy or completion certificate.
  • Latest property tax receipt.
  • Encumbrance certificate showing no other loan on the property.
  • Society NOC and share certificate for flats, where relevant.

What the lender does

The lender's lawyer checks the title, and a valuer visits the property to fix its market value. The loan is a share of that value.

Tips

  • Locate original title papers early – missing links in the chain cause the biggest delays.
  • Make sure property tax is paid up to date.
  • All owners must sign, even if only one earns.
