Down payment on a ₹20 lakh loan
Because the loan is under ₹30 lakh, the RBI ceiling is 90% of the property value. To borrow ₹20 lakh you should be buying a home worth about ₹22,22,000, and you would bring about ₹2,22,000 yourself. Registration, stamp duty and furnishing costs come on top of that figure.
Who can carry an EMI of ₹24,797
Short 10-year loans of this size are demanding. With the EMI at half of take-home pay you need about ₹49,600 a month after tax, and with the EMI held near 40% you need about ₹62,000. A lender checks existing EMIs too, so a running car loan can push the requirement higher.
How much of the ₹2 lakh tax limit year 1 uses
Year 1 interest is ₹1,64,911, with ₹1,32,655 going to principal. That leaves ₹35,089 of room under the ₹2 lakh Section 24(b) cap, so the whole interest is claimable on a self-occupied home. Everything here assumes the old tax regime, because the new one allows no such deduction.
Extra ₹1 lakh in year 3
Putting in an extra ₹1,00,000 at the end of year 3 at 8.5% saves about ₹77,017 and trims about 7 months. RBI says lenders may not charge a prepayment penalty on floating-rate home loans to individuals, so only the interest saving matters.
Effect of a 0.5% rate increase
Moving from 8.5% to 9% lifts the EMI by ₹538 to ₹25,335. Over 120 instalments that is about ₹64,560 more.

A ₹20 lakh loan sits within the scheme's ₹25 lakh loan ceiling. The home must be worth up to ₹35 lakh and household income must be up to ₹9 lakh. If both hold, the interest subsidy is 4% on the first ₹8 lakh, capped at ₹1.8 lakh.
Before you commit to ten years
A ten-year term on ₹20 lakh leaves little slack. Test it against a month with a medical bill or a school fee, and keep a reserve of six EMIs. If the margin looks thin, the 15-year plan keeps most of the saving at a gentler monthly burden.
