When you need it

Confirm a completed deposit of title deeds, security intent and custody, where the lender already treats the property as secured — not a mortgage-deed substitute. Section 58(f), TPA needs delivery with intent to secure; state the deposit date/place, property, deed inventory, facility and prior charges.

A letter creating the bargain (not just recording it) can carry different treatment. Punjab's Entry 6 covers this at 0.25%; confirm Chandigarh separately. Don't claim verified title without due diligence.

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

Punjab: Entry 6, Schedule I-A (amended 2024) charges 0.25% of the loan/debt for the covered category. Chandigarh: no published rate — get it from the Sub-Registrar, Sector 17, or s.31 adjudication, before signing. Stamp on/before signing (s.17); under-stamped is inadmissible until the deficiency and penalty are paid (s.35).

Registration

S.58(f), TPA recognises a title-deed-deposit mortgage (docs delivered in a notified town, intent to secure); s.59 excludes registration. A memorandum creating the bargain, not just recording a deposit, can trigger s.17 — check wording and local rules first.

Notarisation

Not a substitute for satisfying s.58(f).

Witnesses

Not required for a bare s.58(f) deposit — a registered mortgage carries its own witness rule.

SIGNATURE

LEGAL BASIS
In Punjab the holder of a site allotted by a development authority cannot transfer any right in it, a mortgage included, without the authority's previous permission (section 43(7) of the Punjab Regional and Town Planning and Development Act, 1995), and the authority gives that permission only to the allottee on its file. In Chandigarh a leasehold site needs the Estate Officer's permission to mortgage, a notified service under the Right to Service notification of 30 March 2026, and the Estate Office's checklist asks for an affidavit with it, which carries its own stamp duty. A mortgage by deposit of title deeds does not show in a Punjab Non-Encumbrance Certificate, which is why lenders also record the security in the Central Registry of Securitisation Asset Reconstruction and Security Interest of India.
