The ₹10,00,000 down payment
Above ₹30 lakh and up to ₹75 lakh, RBI limits home loans to 80% of the property value. A ₹40 lakh loan therefore needs a property worth at least about ₹50,00,000, and you fund about ₹10,00,000 yourself, which is far more than the 10% needed on a loan of ₹30 lakh or less. Stamp duty and registration are extra, so plan savings accordingly.
Take-home pay for ₹49,594 a month
A ten-year EMI on ₹40 lakh is a heavy commitment. If the lender lets the EMI take half of your take-home pay, you need about ₹99,200 a month. At a 40% share the need is about ₹1,24,000. Most buyers meet that only with two incomes.
Tax deduction and the year 1 interest
Year 1 interest is ₹3,29,822 and principal is ₹2,65,309. The interest is ₹1,29,822 above the ₹2 lakh Section 24(b) cap, so the claim on a self-occupied home stops at ₹2 lakh and only in the old tax regime. Principal can use Section 80C within its ₹1.5 lakh limit.
What ₹2,00,000 extra achieves
An extra ₹2,00,000 at the end of year 3 at 8.5% saves about ₹1,54,033 of interest and shortens the loan by about 7 months. Under the RBI directions, a floating-rate home loan taken by an individual cannot attract a prepayment fee.
Rate risk on ₹40 lakh over 10 years
If the rate goes to 9% the EMI becomes ₹50,670, which is ₹1,076 more a month and about ₹1,29,120 more across 120 instalments.
Age fit
If a lender ends loans at 60, a 10-year term starts by 50, and with a limit of 70 by 60. Lenders vary.
Keeping a reserve
Because the EMI is high, keep at least six months of EMIs in a savings account, and avoid taking on new credit while the home loan is young. A cushion of that size protects the credit record during a job change.
Choosing the shorter route
If you do take ten years, build the plan on your current salary alone and treat bonuses as extra. That way a missed bonus never forces you to stretch your budget.
