A home loan typically finances up to 80% of the property's value, meaning you'll need to contribute the remaining 20% from your own funds. For first-time home buyers, navigating the application process and determining the down payment can feel overwhelming. However, once you familiarize yourself with the steps involved, you can smoothly transition into homeownership with minimal stress. Here’s how to prepare effectively for your journey towards buying your first home.

Banks provide an Income Tax Certificate, which is crucial for claiming tax benefits associated with home loan repayments.

Ensure that you include this certificate with your tax returns and provide it to your employer or Chartered Accountant for accurate tax calculation.
