To my best, the reply is No. However consult the local Tahsildar and Sub Registrar concerned.

An area is notified for the pupose of local self government, which do not affect title of the land/ property hence there is no legal infirmity / any problem for creating charge/ mortgaging the property.
However, local lawyer can advise you in a better manner.

Mr. CP Swain,
Before proceeding in creating mortgage of the property you are required to seek legal opinion of your Bank .
As a Banker you will have to seek opinion and advise of legal department of your bank, which is better equipped with knowledge on the subject matter and it will prevail over the opinion and advise of experts on this platform.

If tigariya is notified as place where mortgage by deposit of title deeds is permitted as per transfer of property act, the city area of Tigaria only is valid place to get documents. Whole district or the area or other villages not allowed. for this. you should open a branch at Tigaria itself or execute a deed at Tigaria city only.

Equitable mortgage can be effected in a notified area.
If you are not sure and want to be on the safer side, the title documents can be handed over by borrower at a branch situated at municipal area / confirmed Notified area. Fact of deposit of title deed has to be noted in Recital register of that branch followed by independent confirmation through dak from mortgagor.
