A loan is nothing but a debt. As in case of any other debt instrument, a loan also involves division of financial assets between the person who has taken the loan and the person/institution (lender) who has given the loan. It is a liability on the shoulders of the borrower.
The borrower, normally in adverse circumstances, tends to borrow a particular amount of money from the lender, which is later paid back with a particular amount of interest, but not always in regular installments. If a loan is taken from a financial institution like a bank, then these installments are paid in a particular time frame. A loan is termed under the annuity type if the amount paid periodically is fixed. It may happen that if the lender is a little strict, then he may subject the borrower to certain restrictions known as loan covenants by keeping certain terms and conditions in front of the borrower.
A mortgage, on the other hand, is related to loans that are linked with property issues. Is the transfer of an “interest in property” to a lender as a security for a debt. The fact is that one can not compare this term exactly with a debt, because it is lender's security for a debt that he makes to the borrower.
