The EMI is only part of the picture
On a ₹50 lakh loan at 8.5% for 20 years you repay about ₹1,04,13,879, of which ₹54,13,879 is interest. And that is before the other costs below.
| Cost | When you pay it |
|---|---|
| Down payment | At purchase |
| Stamp duty and registration | At registration; varies by state |
| Loan processing fee and GST | At sanction or disbursement |
| Loan or property insurance | One time or yearly |
| Pre-EMI interest (under-construction) | Before regular EMIs begin |
| Property tax and society maintenance | Yearly and monthly |
Why total cost matters
Two loans with the same EMI can cost very differently once fees, tenure and other costs are added. Looking at the full outflow is the fair way to compare offers and the right way to check what you can afford.
