Government policies and regulations play a crucial role in the Loan Against Property (LAP) sector. The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) establishes guidelines for Loan Against Property (LAP) transactions. Key regulations include interest rate regulation, loan-to-value (LTV) ratio caps, eligibility criteria based on income, credit score, and property type. Recent updates include risk-based pricing, disclosure of fees and charges, and the implications of RERA and IBC on the real estate and banking industries. Understanding these norms and regulations is crucial for LAP applicants.
