Dhaka, March 31 -- Buying a home is one of the biggest financial commitments most Indians make in their lifetime. While a housing loan can cover a large portion of the property cost, lenders do not finance the entire value of the property. Borrowers must contribute a portion of the purchase price from their own funds. This contribution is known as the home loan down payment.
