Many borrowers celebrate when their loan gets sanctioned. In reality, that’s only half the journey. A large number of loan delays and cancellations happen after sanction but before disbursement—and borrowers are often unsure why.

Understanding this difference can save you time, stress, and last-minute surprises.

What Is Loan Sanction?

Loan sanction means the lender has approved your loan in principle after checking:

• Your eligibility

• Credit score

• Income and documents

At this stage, the bank issues a sanction letter mentioning:

• Approved loan amount

• Interest rate

• Tenure

• Terms and conditions

Important: No money is released yet.

---

What Is Loan Disbursement?

Loan disbursement is the actual release of funds to:

• Your bank account, or

• The seller/builder (in case of home loans)

Disbursement happens only after all conditions in the sanction letter are fulfilled.

---

Why Do Loans Get Stuck After Sanction?

This is where most confusion happens.

Common reasons include:

• Pending property or legal verification

• Incomplete documentation

• Delay in agreement signing

• Insurance or margin amount not paid

• Changes in income or credit score

Even a small delay can push disbursement by weeks.

Sanction Letter Conditions You Should Read Carefully

Most borrowers skip this—but it matters.

Pay attention to:

• Validity period of the sanction

• Pre-disbursement conditions

• Required own contribution (margin money)

• Interest rate change clauses

Missing the validity window may require re-approval.
