What to check before you act on these stories

Pass-through: a repo-rate change reaches floating-rate loans linked to an external benchmark at the next reset, not straight away.
Tenure or EMI: banks often extend the tenure instead of lowering the EMI, which raises the total interest you pay.
Total cost: stamp duty, registration and GST can add 7–12% to the price, so check the full cash you need.
Tax: capital-gains rules depend on your purchase date and holding period, so run your own numbers.
