Home mortgage loan

I want to mortgage my other home for taking Mortgage loan from PNB bank so that I can buy small commercial shop. can we buy small commercial shop through mortgage loan amount ?

Actually I do not want any kind of dispute  in future with bank, nowadays bank officials have become liars. Plz help



Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies whether a home mortgage loan from PNB can be used to purchase a commercial shop. While it's generally possible, the key is ensuring the loan's sanction letter explicitly permits this end-use. It's crucial to obtain all assurances in writing from the bank and have legal documents reviewed by an advocate to prevent future disputes and end-use violations.

Yes, it may be possible, but it depends on the specific PNB loan product and sanction terms.

If you mortgage your existing residential house to PNB and take a loan, you should not assume that the loan can automatically be used to purchase a commercial shop. The sanction letter must expressly permit the proposed end-use.

To avoid future disputes:

  1. Obtain a written sanction letter clearly mentioning the purpose: purchase of the particular commercial shop.
  2. Ensure the loan agreement and sanction terms permit payment of the loan proceeds for that purchase.
  3. Make the shop's title, commercial use/permission, and required municipal approvals independently verified by your advocate.
  4. Do not rely only on oral statements of bank officials—take every important assurance in writing.
  5. Before signing, obtain copies of the sanction letter, loan agreement, mortgage documents and terms of disbursement and have them checked by an advocate.

Important: If PNB sanctions a loan against your existing house specifically for a purpose other than purchasing the shop, using the money for the shop could create an end-use violation.

If you tell me the approximate loan amount and whether the existing house is already free from any mortgage, I can briefly explain the safer PNB loan structure for this transaction.

Yes, you can legally use the funds from a Mortgage Loan (Loan Against Property / LAP) to purchase a small commercial shop, provided you disclose the end-use correctly during the loan application process.

When you mortgage an existing residential or commercial home to borrow money, banks classify this as a Loan Against Property (LAP) or Mortgage Loan.

The only banned uses for LAP funds are speculative/illegal activities (such as stock market trading, gambling, or unlawful trades). Using it to buy a commercial shop is 100% legal.

Sir,

This given below condition is given online on bank website for Mortgage loan.

Purpose :-

1. For any purpose except for financial speculation of any nature.

2. Proposals from persons engaged in Real Estate Developments, Property Dealers /Brokers, Share / Stock Brokers and persons engaged in any Speculative activity shall not be considered.

 

What does mean of "Real Estate Developments" ? is it related to buying commercial property ?

Dr. J C Vashista (Advocate )     04 October 2026

Real Estate Development concept is inapplicable in your case, you may apply, proceed and obtain Bank loan to finance for buying a small commercial shop as per Bank rules.

If your other home is bought by you through a registered sale deed, you can deposit the sale deed and can get a loan to buy a small commercial shop.  After repayment of the full loan, the bank executes cancellation of the deposit of the title deed

please tell this line in simple words "the bank executes cancellation of the deposit  of the title deed". 

There is no document like a title deed in our state.

"Actually I do not want any kind of dispute  in future with bank, nowadays bank officials have become liars."

You cannot deal with the banks or anyone or any institution in the society with such hyper-technical and overstated personal opinions. Law and its procedure assures you of a remedy as wnd when there are disputes.

@kavksatyanarayana: I think you are talking about MODT(Memorandum of Deposit of Title Deed)

@P.Venu sir, you are telling true

To purchase other property you can seek loan by mortgaging it.
