No, Bank can't retain your property document when you have repaid the entire loan amount alongwith interest and other charges.Issue legal notice to bank and demand your property documents and if notice not complied with then file complaint before Consumer Forum ..It is not only deficiency of bank but also unfair trade practice of bank.

Bank should not mark any Lien to the Property Mortgaged to any other irrelevant accounts like Credit Card Outstanding etc which is Obviously Illegal. First Send an Notice to the concerned Bank marking Copies to their Head Office and RBI Head Office and you would Certainly get the Results in 30 working days

You have option to approach the Banking Ombudsman as well.

You can make a written complaint to Grievance Officer, CMD of the Bank to return the title deeds and release from MoD. You can complain online in Ombudsman of your region for quick remedy. If nothing comes out you can approach Consumer Forum with the help of legal expert practising in Consumer Court for legal remedy.

Home loan and credit card loan are different. You have cleared the home loan. Hence the bank cannot retain the original document. File a case against the Bank. Consult local advocate.
