Hypothecation

Meaning: 

Hypothecation is a financing arrangement where you pledge movable assets, like a car or machinery, as security for a loan while still using them. You keep ownership of the asset, but the lender can take it if you don’t repay the loan.


Example:

If you take a loan to buy a car, the car is hypothecated to the bank, meaning the  bank has a claim to it until you pay back the loan.


How to understand Hypothecation:

It helps people get loans by using their belongings as security. 
If you don’t pay back the loan, the bank can take the asset.

Importance of Hypothecation:   

It makes borrowing easier and often leads to lower interest rates because the lender has something to secure their loan.
