Can I sell the properties that I availed through loan without NOC ?

Selling a property that you purchased using a loan without obtaining a No Objection Certificate (NOC) from the lender can be problematic. Here's why?

1. Mortgage or Lien on the Property?

If you availed a loan to purchase the property, it is likely mortgaged with the lender. In this case, the lender has a legal claim (lien) over the property until the loan is fully paid off. Selling such a property without clearing the lien or obtaining an NOC is generally not allowed.

2. What is an NOC?

A No Objection Certificate (NOC) from the lender is a document that confirms the lender has no objection to you selling the mortgaged property. It essentially means that the outstanding loan amount has been cleared or that the lender is willing to release their claim on the property.

3. Why is NOC Important?

- If you are selling a property with an outstanding loan, the NOC from the bank or financial institution is required to ensure that the loan is settled before the transfer of ownership.

- The lender may also require that the sale proceeds be used to pay off the remaining loan balance.

- Without an NOC, the lender could technically claim a right to the sale proceeds to recover the outstanding loan amount, and the transaction could be legally contested.

4. Options for Selling the Property:

- Repay the Loan: The best option is to repay the loan amount and get an NOC from the lender. Once you have the NOC, you can sell the property without any legal complications.

- Part Sale: In some cases, if the loan is partially paid off, the lender may agree to release the property after receiving a portion of the sale proceeds to cover the outstanding loan amount.

- Loan Transfer: You could also explore transferring the loan to the new buyer (if the lender allows it), but this also requires the lender's approval.

Conclusion:  

It is not advisable to sell a property acquired through a loan without obtaining an NOC from the lender. Doing so can lead to legal complications, and the lender can take legal action to enforce their rights over the property. Always ensure that all financial obligations are settled before selling a mortgaged property.
