Where the mortgagor delivers possession of the mortgaged property to the mortgagee, and authorises him to retain such possession until payment of the mortgage-money, and to receive the rents and profits accruing from the property in lieu of interest, or in payment of the mortgage- money, the transaction is called an______ mortgage.

When the mortgagor delivers possession of mortgaged property to the mortgagee with the condition that the mortgagee shall retain it until the debt is paid and shall receive rents/profits in lieu of or towards interest, this creates a 'usufructuary mortgage' under Section 58(d) of the Transfer of Property Act.
