A car loan is a
financial product offered by banks and other financial institutions that
enables individuals to purchase vehicles for personal and family use.
Typically, banks provide car loans for the acquisition of brand-new or
reconditioned unregistered vehicles. Additionally, some banks also finance the
purchase of used vehicles, and we likewise offer financing options for
second-hand cars.

Yes, you can purchase
a used car through certain banks, and we also provide financing options for
second-hand vehicles.
No. The car itself
serves as the collateral, as it is the underlying asset. Banks/financial
institutions secure the loan by registering the vehicle jointly in their
name.
Your loan application
may be rejected if you do not meet the bank’s minimum eligibility criteria,
such as minimum income level, age requirement, previous relationship with the
bank, a higher debt burden ratio, or if you have defaulted on repayments or applied
for and been rejected for loans multiple times, etc.
Banks/financial
institutions normally require documents that help assess your loan repayment
capacity, along with vehicle-related documents. The general required documents
include a salary certificate, income proof, business registration documents (if
applicable), bank statements, utility bill copies, NID, passport, vehicle
quotation, etc.
In general, banks or
financial institutions provide a maximum tenure of up to five years; however,
this may vary from one bank/institution to another.
It depends on the
individual bank’s or financial institution’s credit norms. In general, if your
income is sufficient, no guarantor or co-borrower is required. However, some
banks may still require one even if your income is sufficient to cover the
debt.
Car loans do not cover
insurance or registration fees that must be paid at the time of purchasing a
vehicle. Car insurance, which is mandatory, must be purchased separately, and
all vehicle registration-related costs must also be borne by the borrower, as
they are not included in the car loan. However, a few banks or financial
institutions offer special schemes that may include these costs.
Yes, you can, but it
depends on the respective bank’s policy. Some banks allow pre-payment free of
cost, while a few others impose charges.
No. Lenders who
provide car loans to individuals only allow the vehicle to be sold to a new
owner once the loan has been fully repaid. This is because you need to obtain a
NOC from the bank before selling your car, and this document is issued only
after the car loan has been fully paid off.
Loan repayment can be
made through post-dated cheques (PDCs) provided by you to the lender at the
time of signing up for the car loan. Another option is the auto-debit facility,
where the EMI is automatically debited from your savings account.
Generally, banks treat
you as a defaulter if you fail to pay two or more EMIs on time. You will
initially be charged a penalty fee and asked to regularise your payments. If
you fail to do so after repeated notifications, the financial institution may
legally repossess your vehicle.
Yes. FinCoach allows
you to apply to different financial institutions for car loans, and you can
avail of these facilities.
