Dear Sir / Madam,
Rs. 200/- cannot be the interest payable on Rs. 2,000/- for a duration of 10 years out of the 26 years that the amount has remained outstanding ... what is the rate of interest you have calculated it on ? What about the payment of interest on the accumulated outstanding for the remaining period of 16 years ? How much does it work out to as per your calculation ? If you do not have any evidence of your father having repaid the loan to the landlord, your mortgage is very much valid and you will need to negotiate a settlement with the landlord.
