LAP — Loan Against Property Explained
LAP is a secured loan where your residential or commercial property serves as collateral. Banks lend 50-70% of property’s market value. Lower rates than personal loans + longer tenure + larger amounts make it attractive for major capital needs (business expansion, child’s foreign education, large medical procedure).

- For personal use (medical, education): NO tax benefit on interest paid
- For repaying home loan: NO double deduction; check carefully
