In which one of the following Sections of the Transfer of Property Act, the doctrine of consolidation is incorporated?

Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer B

Section 61 governs separate or simultaneous redemption of multiple mortgages to the same mortgagee. In the absence of a contrary contract, the mortgagor may redeem a due mortgage separately or multiple due mortgages together. It is the provision associated with consolidation, but the Indian statutory default restricts rather than unconditionally enforces the English consolidation rule.
