Yes, you can. And with home loan rates starting from 7.10% in 2026, the financing environment is among the most favourable it has been in years.

Here is everything you need to know, data verified for 2026.

Interest Rates in 2026, What You Are Actually Paying

Home loan interest rates in India start from 7.10% per annum at public sector banks and go up to 13%+ depending on the lender, credit score, and borrower profile.

The RBI repo rate currently stands at 5.25%, reflecting 125 basis points of cuts through 2025. Most new floating-rate home loans are now repo-linked (EBLR), which means rate cut benefits pass directly to borrowers without the lag of older MCLR-linked loans.

For a borrower with a CIBIL score of 750 or above, the best available rates in 2026 sit between 7.10% and 7.65% per annum.

After claiming home loan tax deductions, ₹2 lakh on interest under Section 24(b) and ₹1.5 lakh on principal under Section 80C, the effective cost for a 30% taxpayer drops to approximately 5.5 - 6% per annum.

Borrowing at an effective 5.5 - 6% to own property that is appreciating at 12–17% in Ayodhya's best zones is positive leverage. The math is strongly in the borrower's favour.

Key requirement: The bank will only lend against a project that is UP RERA registered, has an approved building plan, clear title, and the developer is on the bank's approved project list. Confirm this before finalising your booking.

5 Things to Check Before Applying

1. CIBIL score, non-negotiable 750+ gets you rates of 7.10–7.65%. Below 700 means rejection or significantly higher rates. Check your score on CIBIL.com or your bank app before applying. If it needs work, spend 3–6 months correcting it first.

2. UP RERA registration Verify the project on uprera.gov.in, check the registration number, QPR filings, and escrow compliance. Banks will not lend against unregistered projects.

3. Developer's bank approval Ask your shortlisted bank if the specific project is on their approved list. This one step saves weeks of processing time.

4. Builder-Buyer Agreement review Banks review the BBA before sanctioning. Ensure it clearly states possession date, delay penalty clause, and unit specifications. A poorly drafted BBA can delay or derail loan approval.

5. Full upfront cash readiness On a ₹65 lakh Ayodhya property, plan for ₹21–22 lakh total upfront including stamp duty and registration. Have this ready in liquid form before starting the application.

The Samrajya Ayodhya Financing Case

For investors looking at Samrajya Ayodhya starting at ₹62 lakh*, the numbers work clearly.

• Loan on ₹65L unit (75% LTV): ₹48.75 lakh
• EMI at 7.25% for 20 years: ~₹38,500/month
• Expected monthly rental from commercial studio: ₹40,000–₹60,000/month

The rental income covers or exceeds the EMI from possession. Your tenant pays your loan. The property appreciates on top.

This is exactly what a well-structured commercial property investment looks like, monthly income, leveraged entry, and long-term appreciation compounding together.

For NRI investors, managed rental options mean you earn this income remotely without any active involvement.

Conclusion

Home loans for Ayodhya property are available at every major bank, starting from 7.10% per annum in 2026. Repo-linked rates mean future RBI cuts will directly reduce your EMI. Tax benefits bring your effective cost down to 5.5–6%. And in Ayodhya's high-footfall commercial zones, rental income can service the EMI from day one.

The process works for salaried buyers, self-employed professionals, and NRIs. What matters most is starting with a UP RERA-registered project from a credible developer, so the bank approves without delays and your investment is fully protected.
