General Lease Rental Discounting (LRD) Questions

Lease Rental Discounting (LRD) is a loan facility where property owners can secure funding by pledging their future rental income as collateral. Lenders assess the rental cash flow from a commercial, industrial, or warehouse property and provide a loan based on the Net Present Value (NPV) of future rental earnings.
LRD is available to:

  • Individual property owners receiving rental income.
  • Businesses & corporate entities owning leased commercial properties.
  • Real estate investors with properties rented to stable tenants.

A registered lease agreement, consistent rental income, and a good CIBIL score (700+) enhance eligibility.

  • Discovers liquidity without selling the property.
  • Higher loan amounts – Up to 90% of net rental income.
  • Flexible repayment tenure – Up to 15 years.
  • Competitive interest rates based on credit profile.
  • Balance transfer facility for better loan terms.
The loan amount is based on:

  • The rental income from the leased property.
  • The tenant profile (corporate tenants preferred).
  • The lease tenure and agreement terms.
  • The market value of the property.
  • The applicant’s financial stability and CIBIL score.
LRD loans are available to:

  • Individual property owners earning rental income
  • Businesses & corporate entities leasing out commercial properties
  • Real estate investors with long-term rental agreements

Applicants must have a registered lease agreement, stable rental income, and a CIBIL score of 700+ for better loan terms.

The loan amount depends on:

  • Rental income stability – Up to 90% of net rental income can be considered
  • Property type – Commercial, industrial, and warehouse properties qualify
  • Tenant profile – Corporate tenants enhance loan eligibility
  • Lease tenure – Longer leases result in higher loan amounts
The repayment tenure for an LRD loan can be up to 15 years, depending on the rental cash flow, property valuation, and borrower’s financial profile.

Lenders prefer properties with long-term lease agreements (at least 3+ years remaining). If the lease is expiring soon, you may need to renew the agreement with your tenant before applying for LRD.

Interest rates for LRD loans vary based on:

  • Loan amount & tenure
  • Rental income stability
  • Tenant profile (corporate tenants may get better rates)
  • Credit score (CIBIL 700+ preferred)

Typically, rates start from 9.50% per annum*, but actual rates depend on the lender’s assessment.

Your Equated Monthly Installment (EMI) depends on:

  • Loan amount sanctioned
  • Interest rate applied
  • Loan tenure (up to 15 years)

Use our EMI Calculator to estimate your monthly repayment.

Yes, most lenders allow prepayment and foreclosure options. However, some may charge a prepayment penalty. Always check the lender’s terms and conditions before making early repayments.
Missing an EMI payment may result in:

  • Late payment penalties
  • Impact on your credit score (CIBIL score drop)
  • Legal action if multiple EMIs are missed

It is advisable to set up an auto-debit facility for timely payments.

Yes, balance transfer facilities allow you to shift your LRD loan to another lender for:

  • Lower interest rates

  • Check Eligibility – Ensure stable rental income and a CIBIL score of 700+
  • Submit Application – Fill in details online or visit a branch
  • Document Verification – Provide KYC, income proof, and property documents
  • Property Evaluation – The lender assesses property value and rental agreement

Yes, balance transfer facilities allow you to move your LRD loan to another lender for:

  • Lower interest rates and reduced EMI burden
  • Extended loan tenure for better financial flexibility
  • Top-up loan options for additional funding
A top-up loan is an additional loan on your existing LRD facility. You can apply if:

  • Your property has higher rental income eligibility than your current loan
  • You have a good repayment track record
  • The remaining lease tenure is long enough to support additional financing
  • Cost Savings – Lower interest rates mean reduced EMI payments
  • Higher Loan Amount – Potential to increase loan value with better terms
  • Improved Cash Flow – Extended tenure options for easier repayment
Missing an EMI payment may lead to:

  • Late payment penalties as per the lender’s policy
  • Impact on your CIBIL score, making future loan approvals difficult
  • Legal action if multiple payments are missed

To avoid this, set up an auto-debit or standing instruction for timely payments.

If multiple EMIs are missed (typically 3 consecutive defaults), the lender may:

  • Issue a loan recall notice
  • Initiate legal proceedings to recover dues
  • Invoke collateral rights, which may include property repossession
Yes, since the leased property acts as collateral, the lender has the right to:

  • Take legal possession of the property
  • Recover outstanding dues through asset sale
  • Reassign rental rights to cover loan payments
If facing financial difficulties, consider:

  • Loan restructuring – Request extended tenure to reduce EMIs
  • Top-up loan facility – Access additional funds for managing cash flow
  • Balance transfer – Shift to a lender offering lower interest rates
Yes, most lenders prefer restructuring over foreclosure. You can:

  • Discuss a revised repayment schedule
  • Request temporary EMI reduction or a moratorium period
  • Explore settlement options if repayment becomes unmanageable
Once the loan is approved, the disbursement process includes:

  • Signing of the loan agreement and completing documentation
  • Verification of property ownership and rental agreement
  • Fund transfer to the borrower's account as per the sanctioned loan amount

The disbursement is typically done in a lump sum, based on the rental income and loan eligibility.

LRD is available for:

  • Commercial properties (office spaces, retail stores, malls)
  • Industrial properties (factories, production units)
  • Warehouses & logistics parks
  • The property must have a valid lease agreement with a stable tenant for a specified tenure.

    • Ownership status – The property must have a clear title and be legally owned
    • Rental income consistency – A long-term, registered lease agreement is required
    • Tenant profile – Corporate tenants are preferred for better loan terms
