The interest rate is still not included in the 20% increase.

"Rental yields vary across the globe, but an average of 2 per cent of rental yield is considered a good deal for residential properties in India," Ashwinder Raj Singh, CEO - Residential Services of JLL India, said. There are only a few cities that have higher rental yield. These are the cities of Ahmedabad, Bengaluru, Chennai, Hyderabad, Kolkata, Mumbai, Pune, and NCR-Delhi.
