What is Discharge of Charge?
The Discharge of Charge process refers to the legal procedure where a financial institution releases its claim over your property after you’ve fully repaid a loan or mortgage. This process is critical in ensuring that your property title is cleared and that you have full legal ownership, free from any encumbrances.
This procedure is often used interchangeably with terms like Bank Release Letter, Redemption of Charge, and Mortgage Redemption. Once completed, the Charge on Property is officially removed, and you will receive a Clear Title.
Common Layman Terms for “Discharge of Charge”
Because “Discharge of Charge” can sound technical, many people use simpler phrases that mean the same thing, such as:
Bank Release of Property
Redemption of Charge
Loan Settlement & Property Release
Mortgage Discharge Process
Removing Bank’s Charge from Property Title
All these terms describe the official process where the bank confirms you have repaid your loan and agrees to release its legal claim on your property. Once this is done, the charge is removed from the property’s title records at the Land Office, giving you clear ownership without any bank encumbrance.
Why You Need a Discharge of Charge?
A Discharge of Charge is necessary when you have fully repaid your secured loan or mortgage, and you are looking to release the financial institution’s claim on the property. This is important for several reasons:
- Transfer of Ownership: If you’re planning to sell or transfer the property, a Clear Title is necessary.
- Removing Encumbrances: It removes the Charge on Property, ensuring the title is free of any legal claims.
- Bank Release Letter: A key document in the discharge process, confirming that your loan has been settled.
- Ensuring Legal Clarity: It ensures that the property is legally free from any financial obligations, which is crucial for future transactions or any inheritance matters.
Key Steps in the Discharge of Charge Process
- Full Settlement of Loan: You must settle the full amount owed to the bank or financial institution.
- Issuance of Bank Release Letter: Once the debt is cleared, the bank will issue a Bank Release Letter confirming the full settlement.
- Filing with Land Office: The Redemption of Charge or Mortgage Redemption process will be initiated, and the discharge documents are submitted to the Land Office.
- Clearing the Property Title: Once the Land Office processes the Satisfaction of Charge, your property’s title will be cleared, and the charge will be formally released.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is the difference between Discharge of Charge and Bank Release Letter?
A Discharge of Charge is the formal process of removing a financial institution’s claim over your property once the loan or mortgage is paid off. The Bank Release Letter is the document issued by the bank confirming that the loan has been fully settled, and it is a crucial part of the discharge process.
Can I get a Clear Title without a Discharge of Charge?
No. A Clear Title is only possible after the Discharge of Charge is completed. Until the charge is removed, the property cannot be considered legally free from encumbrances.
What other documents are required for Discharge of Charge?
In addition to the Bank Release Letter, other documents such as the Redemption of Charge statement, Full Settlement Letter, and Satisfaction of Charge may be required, depending on the bank and property circumstances.
How long does the Discharge of Charge process take?
The timeline can vary depending on the bank and the Land Office, but it typically takes several weeks for the process to be completed.
