At present, there are only floating rate loans available. Even the “fixed rate” loans nowadays come with a clause of revision at some particular intervals.

1) to give answer of your first query , you should incorporate the max interest rate , which can go up in future, be ready for it , so even if interest rate at the moment is 10% ,calculate how much can you pay incase it goes up to 14% (last high) . read more on http://www.shyamscolumn.com/2009/10/prepare-for-higher-interest-rate-on.html
2) You should take 80% as the figure ,overall it would be around that , so be ready to ay 20% or more from your pocket , the main point here is that take loan which you can afford . Fixed or floating is a different thing which you should decide.
3) I think you mean HRA here , yes you can claim the HRA if you are not resiging in the house which you will buy .
