How Much Can You Borrow for Panache?
The standard home loan formula: your EMI should not exceed 40% of your net take-home salary. Here is how that plays out for every Panache configuration.
Income Required by Configuration
2 BHK (₹1.15 Cr, 875 sqft, mid-floor)
| Loan | Rate | Tenure | EMI | Required Net Take-Home | Required Gross Salary |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ₹86.25L (75% LTV) | 8.5% | 20yr | ₹75,000 | ₹1,87,500/month | ₹22.5 LPA+ |
| ₹86.25L | 9.0% | 20yr | ₹77,500 | ₹1,93,750/month | ₹23.3 LPA+ |
| ₹86.25L | 8.5% | 30yr | ₹66,000 | ₹1,65,000/month | ₹19.8 LPA+ |
3 BHK (₹1.55 Cr, 1,133 sqft, mid-floor)
| Loan | Rate | Tenure | EMI | Required Net Take-Home | Required Gross Salary |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ₹1,16.25L (75% LTV) | 8.5% | 20yr | ₹1,01,250 | ₹2,53,125/month | ₹30.4 LPA+ |
| ₹1,16.25L | 8.5% | 30yr | ₹88,900 | ₹2,22,250/month | ₹26.7 LPA+ |
4 BHK (₹2.15 Cr, 1,754 sqft)
| Loan | Rate | Tenure | EMI | Required Net Take-Home | Required Gross Salary |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ₹1,61.25L (75% LTV) | 8.5% | 20yr | ₹1,40,500 | ₹3,51,250/month | ₹42.2 LPA+ |
Joint Loan: The IT Couple Strategy
Most Panache buyers are IT couples. A joint loan dramatically improves eligibility:
Example — IT couple buying 3 BHK at ₹1.55 Cr:
- Partner 1: ₹18 LPA gross → take-home ₹1,25,000/month
- Partner 2: ₹16 LPA gross → take-home ₹1,13,000/month
- Combined take-home: ₹2,38,000/month
- 40% EMI ceiling: ₹95,200/month
- Eligible loan (8.5%, 20yr): ₹1,09.5L
- They can afford the 3 BHK with a combined ₹34 LPA gross income
Joint loan benefits:
- Higher eligible loan amount
- Both partners claim Section 24b interest deduction (₹2L each = ₹4L total)
- Both partners claim Section 80C principal deduction (₹1.5L each = ₹3L total)
- Total tax saving: ₹2,10,000/year at 30% slab — a significant annual benefit

Documents Required for IT Professionals

Maximising Your Loan Eligibility
1. Clear existing loans before applying Any outstanding car loan, personal loan, or credit card EMI reduces your eligible home loan amount. Clear what you can before applying.
2. Maintain credit score above 750 CIBIL score > 750 gets you the best rates. Check your score at least 3 months before applying — dispute any incorrect entries.
3. Variable vs fixed rate Most IT professional buyers opt for a floating rate (SBI RLLR-linked). Floating rates are currently lower and expected to decrease if RBI cuts rates in 2026–27. Fixed rates are available but 0.5–1.0% higher.
4. Longer tenure = lower EMI = higher eligible amount Extending tenure from 20 to 30 years reduces EMI by 12–15%, allowing you to borrow 12–15% more for the same income. The additional interest paid over 30 vs 20 years is significant — use this strategy only if income growth is expected and you plan to prepay.
5. Consider IT professional category loans SBI MaxGain and HDFC SmartLend offer IT professional-specific features: overdraft facility on home loan (park surplus cash to reduce interest), flexible part-prepayment without penalties. Very useful for variable-income IT professionals with bonuses.
GST and Stamp Duty: The Hidden Costs
For Panache buyers (under-construction), factor these into your down payment:
| Cost | Amount (2 BHK, ₹1.15 Cr) |
|---|---|
| Down payment (25% LTV) | ₹28,75,000 |
| GST (5%) | ₹5,75,000 |
| Stamp duty (6%) | ₹6,90,000 |
| Registration | ₹30,000 |
| Total upfront cash required | ₹41,70,000 |
This is ₹41.7L cash needed before the loan covers the rest. For IT professionals with PF and investments, this is often funded from savings + partial PF withdrawal.
