In an equitable mortgage, the owner has to transfer his title deed to the lender, thereby creating a charge on the property. The owner also orally confirms the intent of creating a charge on the property. Stamp duty and charges are comparatively low, relative to a registered mortgage.

An equitable mortgage is also known as an implied or constructive mortgage. No legal procedure is involved in an equitable mortgage, but it is considered mortgage in the interest of justice (under equity).

In many states, stamp duty and registration charges in equitable mortgages are as low as 0.1 per cent of the loan amount.

The same thing applies for hypothecation too.
