Hi, under normal circumstances the Bank will be insist for the Equitable Mortgage deed because they want some documents to show that they have mortgage the property.

2. Some time it is depending upon the policy of the bank also.

1. An equitable mortgage has already been created between you and the bank which has been stamped according to the law in existence.

2. A separate deed of mortgage is not required. The empanelled lawyers of the bank are expected to be aware of this. Be that as it may, there is no harm in executing a mortgage deed if the bank does not relent.

In the normal circumstances, the EM will be sufficient for Bankers to secure the property on loan. However it depends on the bank who may insist on regular mortgage too. This cannot be objected to. There is no legal infirmity in it. The bank has rights to enforce deed of mortgage despite complying with the said formalities properly.
