Wow!! So, ISB wants us to spend close to 45-46 lakh just on the program, accommodation and food.
Suppose your pre-ISB net income pre-tax is 15 lakh (Modify as per your salary. Higher will lead to bigger losses)
Scenario 1Total cost of 1 year = 60 lakh (45+15)
You take a loan at 8.5% for 15 years => You spend 45k every month on EMI + 15k revenue foregone on Salary => 60k
Median salary post-ISB = 28 lpa. Deduct one-time bonus and other such things (15-20%) => 22 lpa
Deduct EMI + revenue foregone =>
Pre-tax Post-ISB income = 15 lpa - which is same as your pre-ISB incomeScenario 2Take a loan and buy a house for 60 lakh in suburbs. Lease it out and calculate the rental value according to your location.
Houses generally appreciate at a faster rate in suburbs. So, evaluate this option
Scenario 3Invest whatever savings you have in Mutual funds. Assume just 10% growth. Still you'll be better off.
