Lease Rental Discounting (LRD):
is a term loan offered by banks and financial institutions against the rental income derived from a property. The loan is provided to the property owner based on the discounted value of future rentals and the underlying value of the property.
Essentially, it allows you to get a lump sum amount today by pledging the fixed "rent" you expect to receive over the next several years.
How LRD Works:
How LRD Works:
The mechanism relies on a three-way agreement between the Lender (Bank), the Lessor (Property Owner), and the Lessee (Tenant).
Rental Agreement: The owner leases the property to a blue-chip company or a reputed bank/retailer.
Rent Escrow: The tenant agrees to pay the monthly rent directly into an "Escrow Account" managed by the lending bank.
Loan Repayment: The bank deducts the EMI from this rent and credits the remaining balance (if any) to the owner’s account.
Key Features:
Key Features:
Purpose: Since it is a "Liquidity Tool," the funds can be used for business expansion, debt consolidation, or acquiring new assets.
Lower Interest Rates: Because there is a confirmed source of repayment (the lease), LRD often carries lower interest rates compared to general personal or business loans.
Long Tenure: The repayment period usually aligns with the remaining duration of the lease agreement, often extending up to 10–15 years.
Loan Amount: Typically ranges from 70% to 90% of the net present value of the future rentals, subject to the property's market value.
