Limited by RBI loan-to-value rules — a bigger down payment would raise this.

Price = loan + down payment. “Left to save” assumes you stop paying rent and pay the EMI instead, before maintenance and property tax.

Questions people ask

How much of my salary should go to an EMI?

KITNA shows three levels: 30% of take-home (comfortable), 40% (stretch) and 50% (aggressive), minus any EMIs you already pay. Lenders set their own limits; this is a planning view, not a loan offer.

How much down payment do I need?

RBI loan-to-value rules cap the loan at 90% of the property value for loans up to ₹30 lakh, 80% up to ₹75 lakh and 75% above that. Stamp duty and registration come on top.
