It was mostly reserved for drying clothes, children’s playtime, keeping plants, or even giving the family pet a little extra space to roam.

Yet behind every sharp correction in India's real estate sector lies a...

Imagine paying a home loan EMI every month for seven years. You tighten your budget, skip holidays, and still manage your rent — all because the apartment you legally own is stuck in a construction limbo. The builder ran out of money. The project stalled.
