Understanding Charges on Immovable Property Section 100 of the Transfer of Property Act defines a charge as security for payment created by act of parties or operation of law, distinct from mortgages. A valid contract can create charges under this section, while legal provisions automatically establish them in certain cases like maintenance rights for widows. Exceptions include bona fide purchasers without notice and trustees recovering expenses before obligations are fulfilled.
Differences Between Charge and Mortgage While all mortgages are charges, not all charges qualify as mortgages due to differences in creation requirements. Mortgages require registration if property value exceeds Rs 100 and attestation by two witnesses; these formalities do not apply to creating a charge. The Supreme Court clarified that mortgage rules only govern enforcement but not the formation process.
Pre-Existing Rights vs Newly Created Charges Charges based on pre-existing rights (e.g., widow's maintenance) don't need additional validation or registration compared to those newly established through decrees or compromises which may lack enforceability unless supported by prior entitlements.
