What is Lease Rental Discounting LRD ?

Lease Rental Discounting (LRD) is a loan offered against the rental income earned from a leased property. Simply put, it allows property owners to borrow money by using their future rent as security. The loan amount is calculated by discounting the expected rental cash flows from a property that is already leased and generating regular income.

If you own a residential, commercial, or warehouse property with a registered lease agreement, an LRD loan in India can help you unlock funds without selling your asset.

How Does Lease Rental Discounting (LRD) Work?

Rental Income as Collateral

Property owners can use rent receipts from active lease agreements as collateral while applying for a lease rental discounting loan.


Direct EMI Routing

The process is streamlined as rent payments are directly routed to the bank and adjusted against the loan EMI, instead of being credited to the property owner first.


Loan Amount Determination

Each bank follows its own assessment criteria, but typically borrowers can avail a loan of up to 70% of the property’s market value, subject to rental income, lease tenure, and tenant profile.
This structure makes LRD a convenient way to unlock funds from rental properties while ensuring smooth and disciplined loan repayment.
