The 20-year comparison
The buyer pays the down payment and stamp duty on day 1, then the EMI and maintenance each month. The renter puts the same day-1 money into a Nifty 50 index fund, pays rent, and each month invests whatever the buyer spends over rent. Whoever spends less in a month invests the difference, so both start and continue with the same money.
| Cash on day 1 (20% down + 7% stamp duty) | ₹9,45,000 |
|---|---|
| Monthly EMI | ₹24,299 |
| Owning costs more than renting in year 1 by | ₹16,757/mo |
| Home value after 20 years | ₹92.9 L |
| Buyer’s wealth (home, loan repaid, + any invested surplus) | ₹92.9 L |
| Renter’s Nifty 50 portfolio | ₹2.28 Cr |
| Difference | Renting ahead by ₹1.36 Cr |
| Buyer’s annual return (IRR) | 5.7% vs 12% for the fund |
Rent avoided is the buyer’s return on the flat, on top of price growth. Here that is a 3.1% yield, against a 8.5% loan rate, which is why price growth has to do most of the work for buying to win.
