How to pay MODT charges in Karnataka?

The term MODT means “Memorandum of Deposit of Title Deed”

Memorandum of Deposit of Title Deed or MODT is applicable for all home loan borrowers.

It is essentially an undertaking given by you that you are depositing title documents of the property with the bank of your own free will in return for a loan.

Following are title documents deposited in the bank under MODT

• Mother deed
• Sale deed
• Sale Agreement
• Encumbrance certificate
• Tax paid receipt
• Khata certificate & extract
• Occupation certificate
• and additional documents applicable for land like RTC, layout plan, building plan, etc. 

You may ask your banker if MODT registration is necessary or not. The most bank does MODT registration and few banks don’t do MODT registration.

For Example, All SBI does MODT registration. Few HDFCs doesn’t do MODT registration.

If MODT is registered, the bank’s name reflects in the encumbrance certificate. If MODT is not registered, the bank’s name doesn’t reflect in the encumbrance certificate.

In the below encumbrance certificate, we encircled the bank details for your reference.

Usually, MODT is registered immediately after the sale deed registration in the same sub-registrar office.

Note:

• We advise you to pay the MODT charges online net banking because very few bank branches accept K2 challan payment.
• A challan is valid for 7 days from the day of challan generation. Hence complete the payment within 7 days of challan generation.
• A challan is valid for 90 days from the day of payment. Hence register MODT within 90 days from the day of payment completion. In case expires, it's cumbersome to claim a refund.
• If lost or misplaced the K2 challan, can search and download challan on the K2 website by using challan number.
• As soon as you enter the sub-registrar office for MODT registration. It is important to get your challan authenticated with a sub-registrar sign to move further step for MODT registration. (mainly the sub-registrar authenticates the payment success).
• Government charges are paid separately for the sale deed and MODT registration. In Karnataka, a separate K2 challan is required for the sale deed and MODT registration.
