TIA

Arunima, Decide where you want to buy the house. Find out how much it costs for the houses for your requirements. Decide when you want to buy the house. Divide the total cost by the number of month in between and that's how much you need to save. I believe you're talking about the down payment, right? For example, if you have to put 20 lacs down payment and you want to buy a house in a year. = 20,00,000/12 = 1.6 lacs per month. This is if you don't have any money in your savings. If you have some savings, then this 1.6 lacs will go down. Good luck! Let me know if you have any more questions.
Usually, banks fund 70-75% funding on the guidance value of the home. So, you need to have 25-30% liquid cash if you are planning to buy house. It doesn't mean, if you dont have liquid cash, you cant buy. Its good to have instead of struggle later. If you have time, try to arrange cash for the same. For higher loan eligibility, you need to close your car loan. Savings : Spend less on unnecessary things. Credit card is the main culprit to buy unnecessary things. Good luck for your new house
