Here\u2019s how it works:<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p>The buyer pays a small portion of the property\u2019s cost upfront (usually 5-20%) as a down payment. The bank then covers the remaining amount, paying it to the builder in instalments. During this time, the builder\u2014not the buyer\u2014pays the interest on the loan until a pre-agreed period ends (typically until the property is ready for possession). This period, known as the&nbsp;<em>subvention period<\/em>&nbsp;or&nbsp;<em>EMI holiday<\/em>, usually lasts 24-48 months, meaning the buyer doesn\u2019t have to start paying EMIs right away.<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p>This setup benefits everyone:<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:list --><\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li
