Earlier, a residential property including a house, flat, villa or plot could be bought using your savings only but now even this has become a distant dream. The whole struggle of every prospective property buyer is arranging adequate amounts of money to take care of the requirements for a Home Loan as well as other required expenditures including the registration charges, tax-deductible at source as well as statutory duties.
