Mortgage by deposit of original title deeds will be applicable 

the individual or trust can accept such original title documents of the mortgaged property towards security for repayment of loan with a right to sell the property in case of default

It is mostly created with banks and financial institutions being lenders but the said things are not mandatory. Individual should be registered money lender for advancing monies.

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. 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) . The borrower obtains money from the bank/lender with an agreement that his property, on which the equitable mortgage is created, will act as security for the loan.

The borrower has to submit his title deed to the lender as security for the money borrowed.

No formal, legal document is executed or registered in the records of the registrar, but it can be created at notified places. Stamp duty and charges are comparatively low, relative to a registered mortgage.

Equitable mortgage deed can be created.

An equitable mortgage in which the lender is secured by taking possession of all the original title documents of the property that serves as security for the mortgage. It gives the mortgagee the right to foreclose on the property, sell it, or appoint a receiver in case of nonpayment.

The biggest advantage of equitable mortgage is it doesn't attract stamp duty as it is an oral transaction. In certain states of India acts have been passed to register equitable mortgage to avoid fraudulent transactions.
