Loans against mutual funds allow one to borrow funds against the value of their holdings, while continuing to remain invested. With redemption, one gives up the ownership of their units, and their positions in the market.

When you take a loan against mutual funds, the lender places a lien on the pledged units. Mutual fund units that are pledged cannot be redeemed or switched, until the loan is repaid and the lien is released. Any additional units you hold in the same folio beyond the pledged amount remain freely redeemable.

One’s loan limit is set, based on the market value of their pledged units and lender-specific loan-to-value (LTV) norms. The limit may also vary based on the asset and sub-asset class, market movements, as well as the bank’s risk policies.

Yes, one can continue to invest in mutual funds in which they have pledged units via SIPs, in the same folio.

Mutual funds’ net asset value (NAV) may rise or fall based on market conditions. If one’s pledged units decline sharply in value, banks reserve the right to ask one to pledge additional units against their loan, or part-repay the outstanding amount within 7 working days, or such other period as permitted by the Bank, from the date of occurrence of such a breach.
