Type Of Charges

Q:What is lien.
A:A right given to another by the owner of property to secure a debt, or one created by law in favour of certain creditors.



Q:What is pledge.
A: Placing of owned property by a debtor (the pledger) to a creditor (the pledgee) as a security for a loan or obligation. The pledgee has an implied right to confiscate and/or sell the pledged property to satisfy his or her claim in case of a default.


In this case possession and ownership of property remains with creditor(like Bank)

Q: What is Hypothecation.
A: “’Hypothecation’ means a charge in or upon any movable property, existing in future, created by a borrower in favour of a secured creditor, without delivery of possession of the movable property to such creditor, as a security for financial assistance and includes floating charge and crystallization of such charge into fixed charge on movable property”.

.In this case  ownership of property remains with creditor(like Bank) whereas possession remains with debtor (borrower)


Q:What is the difference Between Hypothecation and Pledge
A:Hypothecation is a way of creating a charge against the security of movable assets, which is much similar to pledge. However, pledge is a charge, which is defined by law whereas it is not so in the case of hypothecation. Under Section 172 of the Indian Contract Act, 1872: “Pledge is a contract where, by way of deposit of goods a security for a debt is created and the right to property vests in the pawnee so far as it is necessary to secure the debt.”
In case of pledge, the assets are in the custody of the lender, real or constructive, whereas in the case of hypothecation the assets are in the custody of the borrower.
Hypothecation is to be registered under Section 125 of the Indian Companies Act, 1956 when the hypothecator is a company, whereas no such provision exists in case of charges by way of pledge.
In hypothecation, goods are not kept under the lock and key of the banker. The borrower, however, will have to submit a stock statement at prescribed intervals as per terms of sanction to the bank. In addition to the fact that the bank does not have the physical possession of the goods under hypothecation, the fact remains that no statutory status is given to a hypothecation transaction. In this regard, it is, however, to be noted that hypothecation has a close link to floating charge. It must be noted that without the consent of the Bank, no person can utilize the hypothecated goods for his own benefit or sale by the borrower or any person connected thereto. 



Q: What is mortgage.
A:(a) A mortgage is the transfer of an interest in specific immoveable property for the purpose of securing the payment of money advanced or to be advanced by way of loan, an existing or future debt, or the performance of an engagement which may give rise to a pecuniary liability. The transferor is called a mortgagor, the transferee a mortgagee; the principal money and interest of which payment is secured for the time being are called the mortgage-money, and the instrument (if any) by which the transfer is effected is called a mortgage-deed.
(b) Simple mortgage.—Where, without delivering possession of the mortgaged property, the mortgagor binds himself personally to pay the mortgage-money, and agrees, expressly or impliedly, that, in the event of his failing to pay according to his contract, the mortgagee shall have a right to cause the mortgaged property to be sold and the proceeds of sale to be applied, so far as may be necessary, in payment of the mortgage-money, the transaction is called a simple mortgage and the mortgagee a simple mortgagee.
(c) Mortgage by conditional sale.—Where, the mortgagor ostensibly sells the mortgaged property— on condition that on default of payment of the mortgage-money on a certain date the sale shall become absolute, or on condition that on such payment being made the sale shall become void, or on condition that on such payment being made the buyer shall transfer the property to the seller, the transaction is called mortgage by conditional sale and the mortgagee a mortgagee by conditional sale: 1[Provided that no such transaction shall be deemed to be a mortgage, unless the condition is embodied in the document which effects or purports to effect the sale.]
(d) Usufructuary mortgage.—Where the mortgagor delivers possession 1[or expressly or by implication binds himself to deliver possession] of the mortgaged property to the mortgagee, and authorises him to retain such possession until payment of the mortgage-money, and to receive the rents and profits accruing from the property 2[or any part of such rents and profits and to appropriate the same] in lieu of interest, or in payment of the mortgage-money, or partly in lieu of interest 3[or] partly in payment of the mortgage-money, the transaction is called an usufructuary mortgage and the mortgagee an usufructuary mortgagee.
(e) English mortgage.—Where the mortgagor binds himself to repay the mortgage-money on a certain date, and transfers the mortgaged property absolutely to the mortgagee, but subject to a proviso that he will re-transfer it to the mortgagor upon payment of the mortgage-money as agreed, the transaction is called an English mortgage. 4[(f) Mortgage by deposit of title-deeds.—Where a person in any of the following towns, namely, the towns of Calcutta, Madras, 5[and Bombay], 6[* * *] and in any other town7 which the 8[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.
(g) Anomalous mortgage.—A mortgage which is not a simple mortgage, a mortgage by conditional sale, an usufructuary mortgage, an English mortgage or a mortgage by deposit of title-deeds within the meaning of this section is called an anomalous mortgage.]


(h) Equitable mortgage:A mortgage in which the lender is secured by taking possession of 

all the original title documents of the property that serves as security for the mortgage.
  
It gives the mortgagee the right to foreclose on the property, sell it, or appoint a receiver in 

case of nonpayment.
