How to create corpus for buying a home after 2 years

You have only 2 years and 8 months in hand for creating the corpus of Rs 50 Lakhs. Since the tenure is 2 years and 8 months only, investing in short term debt funds can be suggested.

Assuming annual return of 10% from short term bond funds, you will be able to create a corpus of only Rs 18.50 Lakhs by investing Rs 50,000 per month through SIPs.

As you can see there is a huge deficit between your desired corpus and the fund value that you can create within this time frame. We think, you need to have alternate strategies to meet this goal.
