Property value and down payment for a ₹70 lakh loan

RBI rules cap a housing loan above ₹30 lakh and up to ₹75 lakh at 80% of the property value. To borrow ₹70 lakh, the property must be worth at least ₹87,50,000, so the down payment is at least ₹17,50,000. Stamp duty and registration are extra and are not funded by the loan.

Tax benefit on a ₹70 lakh home loan

In year 1 at 7.40% over 20 years you pay about ₹5,12,683 as interest and ₹1,58,888 as principal. Under the old tax regime, interest on a self-occupied home is deductible up to ₹2 lakh a year and principal repayment up to ₹1.5 lakh a year (Sections 24(b) and 80C of the Income-tax Act, 1961; the same limits continue under the Income-tax Act, 2025 from tax year 2026-27). The new tax regime does not allow these deductions for a self-occupied home.
