The main reason for which people do not want to opt for this loan is because they do not want the bank to take custody of their property. Another reason is that there is no tax advantage given while paying the EMI on mortgage loan as compared to a home loan. However, this is only in the case of a salaried person. A business person can claim a tax deduction on the entire amount paid on the loan if he/she can prove that loan was taken to improve the business. The tax incentive is also available for a loan against any kind of securities, such as gold, any other that he/she possesses. However, if you need a large amount of money that runs into crores or lakhs, the only feasible assets that you may be able to as security is property which belongs to you.

• Valuation of property (fair market value)

• Past borrowing track record

Q. What are the tax incentives for a loan against property?

A. There are no tax incentives for a loan against property for salaried individuals. Under the Indian Income Tax Act, 1961, tax exemptions are available under Chapter VI and Section 24 for a home loan. However, the same exemptions are not available for a loan against property. The reason for this is that unlike a home loan that you take for building a house, a loan against property can be used for a variety of reasons.

Therefore, it is better to take a loan against property for business reasons. You can show that the loan has been used for capital expenses and show the repayment as business expenses.

Q. Should I take a loan against property or a personal loan from SBI to meet personal expenses?

A. A loan against property is a form of secured loan while a personal loan is an unsecured loan. State Bank of India has different terms and conditions for each loan. Experts suggest that a personal loan may be a good idea if you need a small amount that you can pay off within 2-3 years. Alternatively, a loan against property is what you need if you are looking for a substantial sum. Since mortgage loans come at a lower rate of interest, the EMIs are low, and so the outgo for the same sum of money for the same repayment period is considerably less for an SBI loan against property as compared to a home loan.
