When you need it

When a lender renews or varies a credit facility, the guarantor/security provider confirms whether existing security continues. Drafted carefully: s.133, Contract Act can discharge a surety over an unconsented variance; ss.130-131 govern revoking a continuing guarantee.

A blanket “continues regardless” clause can hide a real variation — state the original security, the exact change, limited consent, any revised cap/period, and rights preserved. A new facility needs its own instrument.

What follows is written for Punjab and Chandigarh. It states the position there rather than describing how it varies, so the amounts below are the ones that apply — worth confirming at the sub-registrar’s office, because rates change. If the property is anywhere else in India, none of this is yours.

Stamp duty

No settled position: same facility = no new right; a larger advance can be charged as a further charge. Get the figure from the Sub-Registrar or s.31 adjudication before signing — under-stamped, inadmissible until the deficiency and penalty are paid (s.35).

Registration

Not registrable (s.17) — no property interest created. Charging property too makes it a mortgage: registered, two witnesses (s.59, TPA 1882), unless by deposit of title deeds.

Notarisation

Only if the lender wants a sworn/attested form.

Witnesses

Contractual, not s.59's statutory witnesses — follow whatever the lender requires.

LEGAL BASIS

A guarantor's liability is co-extensive with the borrower's (section 128 of the Indian Contract Act, 1872). A guarantee that covers a series of transactions is a continuing guarantee (section 129), which the guarantor may revoke as to future transactions by notice to the lender (section 130). A variance in the loan terms made without the guarantor's consent, a release of the borrower, extra time given to the borrower, or the loss of the security discharges the guarantor wholly or in part (sections 133, 134, 135, 139 and 141). On a secured home loan, section 13(11) of the SARFAESI Act, 2002 lets the lender proceed against the guarantor without first taking any of the enforcement measures against the property.

PERSONAL DATA NOTICE

This notice is given under the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023.

Personal data in this document is collected only to record the security provider's informed confirmation of continuing security after the specifically disclosed facility change, communicate about that purpose, verify expressly supplied lending, identity and property information, and retain an evidentiary transaction record.

If the transaction is withdrawn, refused or cancelled, personal data will be retained for 90 days and then erased. If the transaction proceeds, the record will be retained for the loan/security term plus 12 months, except where a named statutory or regulatory record-retention period requires longer retention.
