What we do
Security Trusteeship is a contractual arrangement amongst Borrower, Lenders and Security Trustee materialized by executing a document called Security Trustee Agreement (STA) wherein the Borrower, settles a trust with the Security Trustee. Trust will hold Secured Properties (any kind of movables, immovables, pledge of shares, rights, etc.) and the Security Trustee will act as a Trustee to such Trust.
Advantages to Lenders:
- Hold security as per terms of sanction for the benefit of Lenders in respect of Bilateral or Consortium lending programs.
- Vetting of documents before execution.
- Ensure permission/s from Statutory / Regulatory / Existing Lenders /Lessor’s prior to creation of security.
- Obtaining all Corporate Resolutions before execution and Borrowings.
- Vetting of title search reports of the mortgagor and inform the short coming/s if any to the Lenders. This enhances the scrutiny and it becomes double check
i.e. from Lender as well as the holder / Trustee. - Safe keep the document in a fire proof vault at respective places of execution due to stamp duty implication and also avoiding frequent transfer of title deeds from one Lender to another in case of down-selling.
- Confirm to the Lenders about the security held by us.
- Hold pledge / NDU in our favour as per SAST guidelines for individual /several Lenders; thereby shares are encumbered only to oneparty. Act as per Lender/s instructions for release of security.

Appropriate disclosures in respect of listed shares are done in stock exchanges to effect the correct pledge position.
