Credit Card

Home loan
Talking about a home loan, it is considered a secured loan. In this loan, the name of the co-applicant is linked with the loan holder. If the loan holder passes away without repaying the loan amount, then his legal heir will have to pay the remaining loan amount. Also, there is a provision of insurance while taking the loan. If the loan holder passes away without giving the loan and the co-applicant is unable to repay the loan amount. So in that case the bank can sell the house and recover the loan amount. If this is not the case, then under the SARFAESI Act, the bank can auction the customer's house and recover the loan amount.
