You would make a down payment of 20% or Rs 50,00,000 * 0.2 = Rs 10,00,000.
The bank would sanction the home loan of Rs 40,00,000.
You have processing fees of 1% of the loan amount or Rs 40,00,000 * 0.01 = Rs 40,000..
You can typically use personal savings, proceeds from the sale of your home, gift money and more to put a down payment on a home..
A down payment is an initial payment of a portion of a purchase price, paid by a buyer to a seller upon the execution of a sale agreement (note: agreement and contract are synonymous for purposes of this definition)..

This third party holds onto the funds and distributes them to the seller once the deal is finalized..
