What are loan against securities (LAS)?
Loan against securities is a loan where you pledge your shares, mutual funds or life insurance policies as collateral to the bank against your loan amount.
How do loans against securities work?
Loan against Securities are typically offered as an overdraft facility in your account after you have deposited your securities. You can draw money from the account, and you pay interest only on the loan amount you use and for the period you use it.
For example, you are offered a loan against shares of Rs 2 lakhs. Let’s say, you draw Rs 50,000 and deposit the amount back in your account in one month. In this case, you are liable to pay interest only for one month on Rs 50,000.
The amount of loan you are eligible for depends on the value of the securities you offer as collateral.
