This course introduces the concept of Stamp Duty & Registration Checks within the Commercial LAP (Loan Against Property) Credit framework. It focuses on assessing whether property transactions have been duly stamped and registered in accordance with applicable legal and regulatory requirements, ensuring enforceability of ownership and security interests.
Learners will explore key assessment dimensions such as identification of gaps in stamp duty payment, validation of registration records, ownership confirmation, and implications for legal enforceability, with an emphasis on independent validation and well-documented rationale. The course also distinguishes stamp duty and registration checks from broader portfolio diversification strategies, highlighting their specific role in ensuring compliance and legal soundness at the individual exposure level.
By the end of the course, participants will understand how to conduct these checks in practice, particularly within Property Title and Legal Due Diligence, including documentation standards, exception handling, and escalation protocols aligned with credit manager review and credit committee oversight.
