Own contribution on a ₹10 lakh purchase loan
The RBI ceiling is 90% of property value for loans of ₹30 lakh or less. For ₹10 lakh borrowed, that points to a home worth about ₹11,11,000 and an own contribution of about ₹1,11,000. Expect to pay registration, stamp duty and any broker fee on top.
Salary you need for an EMI of ₹8,678
With the EMI at 50% of take-home, a take-home of about ₹17,400 a month is required. With the EMI at 40%, it is about ₹21,700. Many first-time buyers choose 20 years because the EMI stays low while the loan still ends before retirement.
Interest in year 1 and the old-regime deduction
Year 1 carries ₹84,236 of interest and ₹19,902 of principal, which shows how little principal the early EMIs retire. The interest sits below the ₹2 lakh Section 24(b) cap, so it can be claimed fully on a self-occupied home in the old tax regime. The new regime gives no such deduction.
Lump sum idea
An extra ₹50,000 paid at the end of year 3 at 8.5% saves about ₹1,45,374 of interest and removes about 22 months from the schedule, which is 1 year and 10 months. RBI directions leave no room for a prepayment fee on a floating-rate home loan taken by an individual.
Planning for a rate rise
A shift from 8.5% to 9% takes the EMI to ₹8,997, up ₹319 a month, and costs about ₹76,560 more across 240 instalments.
PMAY-Urban 2.0 and your loan
Your ₹10 lakh loan is inside the ₹25 lakh loan ceiling of PMAY-Urban 2.0. Applicants must also have a home worth up to ₹35 lakh and household income up to ₹9 lakh. The scheme offers 4% subsidy on the first ₹8 lakh, up to ₹1.8 lakh.
Reading the 20-year trade-off
Twenty years is a common pick because it balances a modest EMI and a manageable interest bill. Keep six months of EMIs in savings before the first instalment falls due, since a missed payment can hurt your credit score for years.
