Here's how the process works:

1. Choose the property you want to mortgage.
2. Apply for the required loan amount.
3. The lender assesses the property's market value and legal documents.
4. Once approved, the loan amount is disbursed.
5. Repay the loan through EMIs over the chosen tenure.
6. After full repayment, the lender releases the mortgage on the property.
