Yes. Every rate, rule and scheme detail was verified in September 2026 from official sources — the RBI (repo rate 5.25%), SBI, HDFC Bank and ICICI Bank rate cards, the PMAY-U 2.0 interest subsidy guidelines on pmaymis.gov.in, and the Income-tax Act provisions for FY 2026-27. The full source list is on the last page of the PDF.
No — this book is built for exactly that stage. Parts 1-5 (affordability math, credit score tune-up, lender comparison, pre-approval, PMAY subsidy) are meant to be used six months before you shortlist a single property. The book includes a six-month preparation timeline and printable document checklists.
No. It teaches you how to compare any lender on real numbers (it shows the actual published September 2026 starting rates of SBI, HDFC Bank and ICICI Bank as examples) and how to verify any property through RERA, title, encumbrance and occupancy certificate checks. It is education, not a sales pitch.
No. Salaried, self-employed and joint-buyer cases are all covered, including the document checklists for salaried and self-employed applicants and the co-borrower tax strategy.
