Map the schedule
Start by placing every milestone on a calendar: booking, agreement, construction-linked instalments, statutory payments and the final demand. Compare those dates with your available cash, expected liquidity and financing drawdowns. Do not assume that a marketing schedule is the same as the final contractual schedule.
Questions to ask
Ask for the latest written payment plan for the exact residence. Clarify whether taxes, registration, parking, maintenance or other charges sit outside the instalment schedule. Ask what changes if the buyer chooses a different unit, payment option or financing route.
Stress-test the purchase
Run a conservative scenario in which one expected source of funds arrives late. A plan that works only under perfect timing can create unnecessary pressure. For an NRI or business owner, also consider currency movement or uneven income cycles.
What to keep
Keep the quotation, payment schedule, booking form, agreement, receipts and every revised cost sheet together. If a figure changes, retain the earlier version so the reason for the change is clear.
Buyer takeaway
The useful question is not simply “What is the payment plan?” It is “What is the total cash requirement, on which dates, for this exact residence?”
