Home loan rates depend on the lender, your credit score and the RBI repo rate; most are floating, so the EMI or tenure changes when rates move.

Where your first year's EMIs go

In the first 12 months you pay ₹7,28,972: ₹5,89,655 in interest and only ₹1,39,316 towards the loan. The interest share falls every month as the balance comes down.

Salary you need

Banks keep all your EMIs, including this one, within a share of take-home pay (FOIR), usually 40–60%. With no other loans, a ₹60,748 EMI needs a take-home salary of about ₹1,21,495 a month at a 50% limit, or ₹1,51,869 at 40%. Any other EMIs you pay need extra take-home pay on top: ₹2 for every ₹1 of EMI at a 50% limit.

Down payment

RBI rules let banks lend at most 90% of the property value for loans up to ₹30 lakh, 80% up to ₹75 lakh and 75% above that. So a ₹70 lakh loan needs a property worth at least ₹87,50,000 (80% loan-to-value), with a down payment of ₹17,50,000 plus stamp duty and registration.

Paying it off sooner

Adding ₹5,062 to every EMI (one extra EMI a year) clears the loan about 3 years 5 months early and saves about ₹15,25,114 in interest. Banks can't charge a prepayment penalty on floating-rate home loans to individuals.
