A Loan Against Property (LAP), also known as a mortgage loan, is a type of secured loan where you pledge your property (residential or commercial) as a collateral to avail funds.

Under specific circumstances, individuals can benefit from sizeable tax exemptions when availing of a Loan Against Property.
