Some banks could offer pre-approved car loan deals to their selected customers with attractive rates that could be disbursed quickly.After months of setbacks due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the Indian automotive industry has started embarking on a recovery path ahead of the much-anticipated festive season. Top carmakers, including Maruti Suzuki, Hyundai and Tata Motors, saw their year-on-year domestic sales grow by 37%, 26% and 101%, respectively, in July this year.
These trends are testament to the fact that many people are prioritizing buying a car to minimize public or shared transportation and avoid getting infected by the feared virus. Buying a car requires a lot of money; however, many prefer using a car loan to finance their purchase especially when car loans are available at competitive interest rates that are usually slightly lower than personal loan rates.
If you’re planning to take a car loan, do note that most lenders would finance up to 80%-90% of the car’s on-road price (meaning, the balance would have to be borne out of pocket) for tenures up to seven years, while some banks could lend up to 100% of the car’s valuation cost subject to terms and conditions. That being said, the car loan interest rate applicable to you would be determined by the lender based on your age, income, credit score, loan amount, etc, according to BankBazaar.
As such, it makes sense to compare car loan offers across banks and NBFCs to find the deal that best meets your financing requirements according to your eligibility. Do note, many lenders offer concessional car loan deals for their existing home loan borrowers. Also, some banks could offer pre-approved car loan deals to their selected customers with attractive rates that could be disbursed quickly.
