MortgageDeed (Guarantors) To be executed by guarantors whose land is to be mortgaged asa collateral security for agri. loans ($) As regards creation of mortgage, the practicesprevailing vary from State to State depending upon the farm legislation in force in aparticular State. In most of the States legislation has been enacted as per TalwarCommittee recommendations, which has simplified the creation of charge over landwithout execution of any mortgage deed. However, as some States have still notenacted the said legislation, no uniform format can be devised for adoption by banksthroughout the country. It is, therefore, suggested that banks operating in differentstates conform to the prevalent laws of the respective States. The 'Deed ofMortgage' (AB-3 / AB-3A) may be used by the branches wherever applicable. Ref:CHAPTER II; GENERAL GUIDELINES FOR AGRICULTURAL ADVANCES ***** ReviewRenewals: KCC limits are normally valid for 3 years but will be subject to annualreview. The review may result in continuation of the facility, enhancement/reduction of their limit or withdrawal of the facility depending upon the performance

    / conduct of the account by the borrower. When a crop loan is to be renewed, thefarmer borrower should furnish the necessary particulars in respect of agriculturaloperations in the prescribed Application Form for Renewal and enclosure thereto.The branch field officer should submit verification report at the bottom of theRenewal Application form. If borrowers and guarantors liabilities continue to subsistby virtue of documents executed by them, no additional document is called for atthe time of renewal of crop loan limits. All renewal should be reported to thecontrolling authority in the same manner as new sanction.

    The rationale for lower/higher age for Housing loan/Car loan respectively is notprovided in any circular including master circulars. The reason for lower age (i.e. 18years) to be eligible to avail housing loan may be to promote housing activity whichcontributes to Economy / national income and also Priority sector. Further it enablesthe borrowers to make thier major children co-borrowers in order to avail requiredloan to complete the project. The Age Limits are decided by the Bank.

    Savings Bank Master Circular issued by our organization didn't speak anything aboutopening of multiple SB Accounts for the same person.
