Re: transfer of property Act

The mortgagee has a right of foreclosure and becomes owner of the property after limitation for redemption expires;

In charge, you only have a 'lien' over the property but you do not enjoy rights akin to 'foreclosure' and cannot claim ownership of the property; the only rights are to recover the 'charged' amount from the property.
