Step 1: Determine Your Budget
✅ Assess Your Finances – Calculate your savings, income, and existing liabilities.
✅ Home Loan Eligibility – Check with banks/NBFCs for loan approval amounts (typically 4-6x your annual income).
✅ Additional Costs – Account for registration fees (5-7%), GST, stamp duty, and maintenance deposits.
💡 Pro Tip: Use online EMI calculators to estimate monthly repayments before finalizing your budget.
