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) | ₹56,70,000 |
|---|---|
| Monthly EMI | ₹1,45,794 |
| Owning costs more than renting in year 1 by | ₹88,544/mo |
| Home value after 20 years | ₹10.74 Cr |
| Buyer’s wealth (home, loan repaid, + any invested surplus) | ₹10.74 Cr |
| Renter’s Nifty 50 portfolio | ₹11.85 Cr |
| Difference | Renting ahead by ₹1.11 Cr |
| Buyer’s annual return (IRR) | 11.4% vs 12% for the fund |
Rent avoided is the buyer’s return on the flat, on top of price growth. Here that is a 3.8% yield, against a 8.5% loan rate, which is why price growth has to do most of the work for buying to win.
