What is a Loan Agreement?

A Loan Agreement, also known as a term loan, demand loan, or loan contract, is a legal document that details a financial agreement between two parties, one of which is the lender and the other the borrower.

This contract outlines the loan amount, any interest rates, the repayment schedule, and payment dates. A written contract provides both the borrower and the lender with a clear overview of the loan’s conditions.

A secured loan is one that is provided and backed by collateral to be utilised if the borrower is unable to make payments. Collateral is often a tangible item that may be seized and/or sold by the lender to pay off the loan’s outstanding balance. A vehicle, a house, stocks, or bonds can all be used as collateral.If the contract does not include a collateral provision, the lender will have to go to court to confiscate any of the borrower’s assets. The lender may still have to go to court to take the collateral with a provision in place, but the procedure is usually faster.

An unsecured loan is one that is made without the use of collateral. When lending money to friends or family members, these types of loans are more usual. Unsecured loans may have higher interest rates to compensate the lender for the risks of lending money without collateral.

Banks must follow the Reserve Bank of India’s instructions on charging interest rates.
