Thought:
This is exactly what happens when customers are required to pay more for same home than its actually worth.
Current real estate scenario in India is controlled by big houses, developers and brokers. Rent and sell prices are governed by supply and not demand. If customer is not willing to pay for the home, he has to look at other places for affordable housing. This affordability is bourn by customers and not sellers or landlords which is kind of inequality.

Only other option customer has is to increase the capital which is provided mostly by banks. Banks have their own calculations to ascertain whether the loan would be paid back or not. Low demand in market for loan would push banks for such measures to increase in span of loan to match the eligibility against inflated home prices.
Question isn't on whether banks should do it or not, but is to whether it would give chance of increasing NPAs and/or further increase in home rates!!
Fingers crossed, we hope that it'd do neither of them.
