A release deed, also called a deed of release, is a legal document that frees a property or asset from any claims or obligations that were made against it in the past. Usually, a release deed is signed when your home loan provider gives you a legal certificate that you have paid off your loan in full and the lender releases the collateral that was put up as security for the loan.
Through this document, a person can also give up his right to a piece of property. A deed of release frees each party from any obligations they had before and keeps any future disputes from happening.
Release deed types
The deed of release can be of different types.
- Release deeds are used to end personal guarantees. This means that the person who had earlier acted as the personal guarantor of another individual can end his personal guarantee.
- Release deeds are used to end loan agreements.
- Release deeds are used to end commercial disputes.
The Implications of a Release Deed
Once the release deed is signed and the property is free of all legal obligations, the transfer can no longer be changed. This is still true even if the person giving up his claim on the property hasn’t been given any money in exchange.
The deed of release makes sure that no one who was involved in the previous agreement can go back to it or start a new dispute about it.
Release deed in a house loan
All over the world, banks keep the original property documents for the entire length of a home loan. They won’t give you back your documents until you’ve paid off all of your home loan EMIs. Along with the original documents, they also give out a release deed that says they have no right to the property. The bank’s legal department will make the release deed, which will also say that there is no lien on the property.

Release deed stamp duty
As with all documents that allow a property right to be transferred, a release deed must be registered with the sub-office registrar’s after stamp duty and registration fees have been paid. Since property transfers are governed by state laws, each state has its own stamp duty rate for the release deed. In some states, you only have to pay a small fee to register a document.
