Section 2 (n) of Securitisation and Reconstruction of Financial Assets and Enforcement of Security Interest Act, 2002

(n) "hypothecation" means a charge in or upon any movable property, existing or future, created by a borrower in favour of a secured creditor without delivery of possession of the movable property to such creditor, as a security for financial assistance and includes floating charge and crystallisation of such charge into fixed charge on movable property.

 

Hypothecation

Hypothecation is the pledging of goods, against the debt without delivering them to the lender. Hypothecation refers to a financial arrangement where the borrower borrows money by against the security of goods. Here goods mean movable property. In business parlance, hypothecation is defined as the charge created over the asset (usually inventories, debtors, etc.) for the repayment of debt of suppliers, creditors, and other parties.

In this arrangement, the asset is not delivered to the lender but kept by the borrower until he defaults in payment of debt. So the possession of asset belongs to the debtor only. There are two parties to hypothecation, where hypothecator is the borrower while hypothecatee is the lender. The right of the two parties depends on the agreement signed between them.

If the hypothecator fails to pay the amount, then firstly, the hypothecatee has to take the possession of the goods hypothecated. Thereafter, he can sell them off to adjust the amount of his loan.
