What you need to know
Lenders release funds in tranches matched to construction stages certified by their technical team. Until full disbursement, you pay pre-EMI — interest only on the amount disbursed so far — and the full EMI begins once the last tranche is released.
Check the project's RERA registration and the developer's tie-up (APF approval) with your lender before booking. An APF-approved project cuts legal and technical processing to a fraction of the usual time.
