A Mortgage Receipt is a fundamental document in Indian property transactions that provides formal acknowledgment of payments made against a mortgage obligation. This document becomes necessary whenever a mortgagor makes payments towards their mortgage, whether as regular installments, partial settlements, or full discharge of the mortgage. The receipt must comply with Indian legal requirements, particularly the Transfer of Property Act, 1882, and state-specific stamp duty laws. It typically includes critical information such as payment details, original mortgage reference, property description, and declarations regarding the status of the mortgage obligation. The document serves multiple purposes: it protects the mortgagor's interests by providing proof of payment, helps maintain accurate payment records, and can be used as evidence in case of disputes. In cases of full mortgage satisfaction, the receipt may also include declarations about the release of the property from the mortgage charge.
