Overview - pledge agreement legal agreements Registration

What is it?

A Pledge Agreement is a security document under which a pledgor (borrower or guarantor) pledges specific movable assets - shares, securities, gold, inventory, or other movable property - to a pledgee (lender or secured party) as security for a loan or obligation. On default, the pledgee has the right to sell the pledged assets and recover the outstanding amount.

Legal basis

Pledge is governed by Sections 172–179 of the Indian Contract Act 1872. For pledge of shares and securities, the Depositories Act 1996 and SEBI regulations apply. For agricultural goods pledged with banks, specific agricultural acts govern certain aspects.

Pledge vs. mortgage vs. hypothecation

Pledge: Physical delivery (or notational delivery for securities) of movable assets - pledgee has right of sale on default. Mortgage: Security over immovable property - must be registered. Hypothecation: Security over movable assets without delivery - lender has right to seize on default.

Share pledge

Share pledges are increasingly common in India for promoter loans and private equity transactions. SEBI requires disclosure of promoter share pledges for listed companies. For private companies, share pledges are governed by the Contract Act and the company's Articles of Association.
