How is the instant top-up Loan possible?

• The bank already holds the security of the mortgage in a top-up loan
• Since the borrower might have availed only a lesser loan against the security or would have already repaid a considerable amount, he/she would obviously be eligible for a top-up loan.
• Also, these loans are required by the borrowers either to repaint the house or renovate/refurbish.
