Check any restriction imposed by bank for the utilization of the loan for any specific purpose; otherwise no issue.

If the mortgage loan agreement does not impose any restriction on the usage of funds—unlike a home loan—then investing the proceeds into mutual funds is permissible from the lender’s and regulatory standpoint.
However, consider the following before proceeding:
Review Loan Agreement: Confirm that the bank has not mandated end-use restrictions.
Tax Implications: Unlike home loan interest, you will not get any deduction under Sections like 24(b) or 80C if the loan is used for mutual fund investments.
Risk Management: Employing borrowed funds for market-linked investments introduces leverage and liquidity risk. Ensure that you can service interest and principal payments even during market downturns.
