Experts Advise Cautious Home Loan EMI Limits Relative to Monthly Income
Financial experts advise that home loan EMIs should remain well below the maximum bank-approved limits to ensure affordability and financial stability. For example, on a Rs 1 lakh monthly income, EMIs are recommended to stay between Rs 25,000 and Rs 40,000, allowing room for expenses and savings. Similarly, a Gurgaon couple earning Rs 3 lakh monthly rejected a Rs 1.5 lakh EMI, which would have consumed half their income, to avoid financial strain. These cases highlight the importance of balancing loan commitments with overall household finances.
