Staged disbursement on a home loan
For an under-construction property, the lender releases the loan in tranches tied to construction milestones rather than in one payment. Interest accrues only on what has been disbursed, so your early outgo is smaller than the sanctioned amount would suggest — and it climbs with each tranche.
What it means
For an under-construction property, the lender releases the loan in tranches tied to construction milestones rather than in one payment.
Why it matters to a household
Interest accrues only on what has been disbursed, so your early outgo is smaller than the sanctioned amount would suggest — and it climbs with each tranche.
Where it trips people up
Budgeting for the eventual full EMI from day one, or the reverse: getting used to a small pre-EMI and being surprised when possession triples it.
In an Indian household
Track each disbursement with its date and amount. Without that record, nobody can tell you what the loan actually costs today.
