1. Banks normally do not accept offer of mortgage of agricultural land for securing debt for non-agricultural purposes.

2. Yes, if it is legal mortgage, the deed with additional facilities are to be got registered again. If it is equitable mortgage additional oral assent for extending the existing mortgage covering the addtional facilities will be recorded in the Bank. Stamp Duty for such documents differs from State to State.
