Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer D

Section 58 of the Transfer of Property Act, 1882 defines six kinds of mortgage: simple mortgage, mortgage by conditional sale, usufructuary mortgage, English mortgage, mortgage by deposit of title-deeds, and anomalous mortgage. Under Section 59 of the Act, where the principal money secured is one hundred rupees or upwards, a mortgage other than a mortgage by deposit of title-deeds can be effected only by a registered instrument signed by the mortgagor and attested by at least two witnesses. Thus, a mortgage by deposit of title-deeds (Section 58(f)) is exempted from the requirement of a registered instrument under Section 59.
