Abstract

Indian banks are nowadays emphasising on retail lending, through mortgage of immovable properties, which is in turn augmenting asset-backed exposures in their books of accounts, and thereby attempts to increase the risk containment. While this secured approach of institutional lending is apparently supporting the financial inclusion agenda of India, but the increasing trend of mortgage related frauds is rising as a serious threat to the country's financial stability and exposing the general public at large to severe financial risk. These concerns have stimulated the need to carry out an in-depth research of the present mechanism followed in banking industry and government departments towards dealing with equitable mortgage of immovable properties. This article contributed case studies related to generic mortgage loan and illustrated ease occurrence of frauds therein. The study concluded with suggestive measures to plug the loopholes in existing mechanism followed in India to deal with mortgage of immovable properties.
