What this means

At ₹50,000 net income with ₹0 existing EMIs and a 45% FOIR cap, you can support a max EMI of ₹22,500. That maps to a ₹25.0 lakh loan over 20 years at 9%. Adding your ₹10,00,000 down payment gives a max home price of ₹35,00,761. For comfort, aim for the 85% mark — about ₹29,75,647.

* Stamp duty (5-8%) and registration are NOT financed by the home loan and must come from your savings on top of the down payment.

* FOIR is bank-side; banks may approve 50-55% FOIR for high credit scores. Lower it to 35-40% if your job/income is volatile.
