Why you need it

When you need it

Declare that specified title deeds were deposited with the lender — when, where, and to secure the named debt. Section 58(f), TPA 1882 recognises a deposit-of-title-deeds mortgage; s.59 excludes it from registered-mortgage formality. Record the depositor, property, deed inventory, obligations, prior security and custody, and whether this evidences a completed deposit rather than the bargain itself — that drives stamp/registration treatment. Punjab's Entry 6 covers it at 0.25%; confirm Chandigarh separately.

What follows is written for Punjab and Chandigarh. It states the position there rather than describing how it varies, so the amounts below are the ones that apply — worth confirming at the sub-registrar’s office, because rates change. If the property is anywhere else in India, none of this is yours.

Stamp duty

Punjab: Entry 6, Schedule I-A (amended 2024) charges 0.25% of the loan/debt for the covered category. Chandigarh: no published rate — get it from the Sub-Registrar, Sector 17, or s.31 adjudication, before signing. Stamp on/before signing (s.17); under-stamped is inadmissible until the deficiency and penalty are paid (s.35).

Registration

S.58(f), TPA recognises a title-deed-deposit mortgage (docs delivered in a notified town, intent to secure); s.59 excludes registration. A memorandum creating the bargain, not just recording a deposit, can trigger s.17 — check wording and local rules first.

Notarisation

Not a substitute for satisfying s.58(f).

Witnesses

Not required for a bare s.58(f) deposit — a registered mortgage carries its own witness rule.
