What is a Vehicle Hypothecation Agreement (Loan)?
A vehicle hypothecation agreement is a loan agreement for financing a vehicle in which the vehicle itself is the lender’s security. The borrower owns and uses the vehicle, but the lender has a charge over it until the loan is repaid, and the hypothecation is endorsed on the registration certificate.
It records the loan amount, interest, tenure and EMI, the borrower’s obligations to insure and maintain the vehicle, and the lender’s rights on default.
When to use it
- You are lending money to buy a vehicle and want it as security.
- A small financier or cooperative needs a standard hypothecation agreement.
- A private loan for a vehicle should be secured on the vehicle.
