Renting vs Buying A Home: Which Makes More Financial Sense?

Renting or buying a home depends on income, location, loan rates, and how long you plan to stay. A Rs 1 crore home with a Rs 80 lakh loan costs about Rs 1.87 crore over 20 years, while renting the same flat may cost around Rs 99 lakh. But owners gain an appreciating asset, while renters can invest their savings. Compare total costs before deciding.
