RBI guidelines require a minimum down payment: 10% for loans up to ₹30 lakh, 20% for loans between ₹30-75 lakh, and 25% for loans above ₹75 lakh. A higher down payment reduces your EMI and total interest paid.
Q: Can I pay more than 20% as down payment?
A: Yes, and it is advisable if you have the funds. A 30-40% down payment significantly reduces your EMI and total interest outgo. However, do not exhaust your emergency fund for this purpose.
Q: What costs are included in total home buying cost?
A: Besides down payment, budget for stamp duty (4-7% of property value), registration charges (1%), GST on under-construction property (5%), and home loan processing fees (0.5-1%).
