Key Insights
Your real IRR (30.60%) is actually higher than the naive price CAGR (14.87%) — stamp duty, loan interest, maintenance, and CGT silently eat the gap.
Stamp duty + registration alone cost 7% of purchase price — that is ₹5.25 L, or roughly 2-3 years of rental income wiped out on day one.
Not renting means you forfeit 2-3% p.a. of rental yield. That is ₹375K/year of cash flow you could have earned.
Post-Budget-2024: LTCG on property is 12.5% without indexation. For purchases before July 23, 2024, grandfathering lets you pick the lower of 12.5% (no index) or 20% (with index). This calculator applied the favorable option.
A typical Indian residential property delivers 4-7% real IRR over 10 years. Commercial can reach 8-10% due to higher yields. Equity mutual funds have historically delivered 11-13% p.a. over similar horizons — fully liquid, divisible, and not tied to one city or tenant.
CFP Note
Real estate “feels” like a great investment because you don't track hidden costs — stamp duty disappears at purchase, EMI is painful monthly but invisible annually, maintenance drips away, and CGT only hits at exit. Quantifying them reveals why liquid mutual fund SIPs (Growth option, Regular plan) often out-compound property over 10-15 years. Plus MFs are divisible, portable, and not tied to one city or tenant. Speak to your Relationship Manager before the next property decision.
