Equitable mortgage

Sec. 58(f) of Transfer of Property Act lays down as follows:

"Mortgage by deposit of title- deeds.- Where a person in any of the following towns, namely, the towns of Calcutta, Madras, and Bombay and in any other town which the  State Government concerned may, by notification in the Official Gazette, specify in this behalf, delivers to a creditor or his agent documents of title to immoveable property, with intent to create a security thereon, the transaction is called a mortgage by deposit of title- deeds.

Therefore you have to verify the Notification of the State Government and the particular place where the immovable property is situated and confirm if the particular place is added in such Notification.

Hi, Shakeel equitable mortgage is the mortgage wherein the lender is secured by taking possession of all the original title documents of the property that serves as security for the mortgage. In case of non-payment of loan amount it gives the lender a right to foreclose, sell or appoint a receiver for the property. In Indian Transfer of Property Act which governs the transfer of property in India it has been dealt under clause (f) of Section 58 according to which only Calcutta, Madras and Bombay are specifically enumerated as notified town and the further power of notification is delegated to respective state governments to notify such towns where it may be executed. As in your case the requisite State government is Kerala you shall verify the notification (if any) in this regard so as to ensure that an equitable mortgage may be executed by you in the state and it would have a legal validity.
