Can we gift deed a property which is having a existing home loan

Hi Sir,

My father is a sole owner of our property and I am the only son having a younger sister. My question is: we have taken a Home loan on our existing property and the home loan is still running. Can we go ahead with the Gift deed in this scenario. Will there be any legal issues if we go with gift deed on property which is under Home loan?

There is no problem in your father gifting the house under home loan to anybody to whom he wishes to gift. However the donee i.e.the person who gets it gifted will be taking the house subject to pre existing mortgage in faovur of the Home loan financier and must pay the dues on the home loan,if he wishes to retain the property for himself or herself.

If a property is under mortgage for a loan, no alienation, including a gift, may possibly be made without prior permission of the lender. You may need to refer to the loan agreement and seek advice from the lender.
