Comparison

Method. Buying path: pays down payment + stamp upfront, EMIs monthly for the loan tenure, plus annual maintenance. Property value compounds at the appreciation rate. Renting path: rents the same home (rent escalates yearly), invests the upfront down payment + stamp duty in financial assets, plus invests the monthly EMI minus rent surplus. Tax benefits (HRA, 80C, 24b), capital gains tax on sale, brokerage, and intangible benefits (security of home ownership) are not captured.
