What is Flexi Payment Plan?
How FLP Differs from CLP
While a Construction Linked Plan (CLP) starts with only 10-20% upfront and spreads the rest across construction milestones, a Flexi Payment Plan front-loads more of the payment. The key trade-off is higher initial financial commitment in exchange for a lower overall property cost.
Typical FLP Structure
- 30-50% at booking/within 90 days: The bulk payment that qualifies you for the BSP discount
- 20-30% in quarterly or half-yearly installments: Spread over the construction period
- 10-20% at possession: The final balance due at handover
Who Should Choose FLP?
- Cash-rich buyers: Those with substantial savings, recent property sale proceeds, or inheritance
- Business owners: Who can deploy lump-sum amounts without straining cash flow
- NRIs with overseas savings: Who want to maximize the exchange rate benefit with a larger upfront payment
- Investors seeking maximum discount: The 3-5% BSP discount can translate to savings of ₹10-15 Lakh on a luxury apartment
Advantages and Risks
The main advantage is the significant price discount. On a Price On Requestore property, a 4% discount saves approximately ₹11.84 Lakh. Additionally, since you borrow less from the bank, your total interest outflow over the loan tenure is substantially lower.
The primary risk is higher financial exposure early in the project. If the project faces delays, a larger amount of your money is locked in. This risk is mitigated when the project is a Supreme Court of India Monitored Housing Project built by NBCC (A Navratna CPSE), as is the case with Fab Luxe Residences developed by Forbes Global Properties.
