A roof over one’s head and a car standing on the entrance of one’s home count
as the bare necessities of life today. There’s nothing quite like owning a car,
however humble, to give one that warm and glowing feeling. But when buys a
car, one has much more than a feel good purchase in mind. It’s also a crucial
investment decision perhaps one of the important spending decisions of one’s
life. There are ample opportunities today for young salaried investors to plan
their moves early and buy a car at the right time and at the right price. In the
process , not only do they fulfill that cherished dream of owning a car but also
put themselves on the path to acquiring property that would meet the needs and
aspirations of their growing family , even as it leads to wealth creation . Every
individual aspires to own a car of his dream and for this he plough his own fund
or takes the help of the financing companies and institutes to fulfill the dreams
just by paying regular EMI for a stipulated period of time according to one’s
income/salary. There are several players in this field with different schemes to
attract the customers. Some of the major players in this industry in NAGAON
are STATE BANK OF INDIA, BANK OF BARODA, PUNJAB NATIONAL
BANK and many more government banks. The private banks are also engaged
in this business, of which ICICI BANK, AXIS BANK is most preferred ones.
The institute provides the facility on minimum of interest rates on fixed/floating
type .The EMI is set after taking in account the income/salary of the desired
client and time period one decides to pay back the amount (principal +
interest ). The time period can vary from 1year to 7years and the rate of interest
can vary from 9.5% p.a. to 11%p.a. The loan is disbursed to the customers at the
earliest of time according to the fulfillment of the minimum requirement of such
facility; it varies from 2 to 6 days.
These institutes have paved a way to purchase one’s dream car. There are many
cars which are launched and which are going to be launched in the coming
period. In today’s time money can’t come in between you and your dream car.

The most important part of the loan is the interest rate charged by the financing institutes.
This interest rate must be a moderate one otherwise it would cost the applicant a huge amount
for a car. The interest rate can be on the floating or fixed basis and this can again be on flat or
reducing balance method. The interest can be charged on monthly basis or it can be done
annually. So, an applicant has to take a good look on the interest rate basis while buying a car
on finance.
A Private Bank charge low interest rates but they are generally on flat rate basis i.e. the
interest is charged on the loan amount every time but this is not the case with Bank of
Baroda, it charges the interest on reducing balance each time. In terms of interest rate Bank of
The next thing which is of due importance is the margin money which the borrower has to
bring from his side, as bank never finance cent percent of the cost of the vehicle. The margin
money which is called for by the Private bank is a bit smaller than the Bank of Baroda. In
standard car it doesn’t create much difference but in case of premium or luxury car it creates
a good difference.
Processing fee is the one time charge which is charged by the financial institutes to carry out
the loan procedure. It is generally paid at the beginning or is adjusted against the loan
amount. The processing fee is much cheaper as compared to other two other two Private
Banks.

A loan applicant can repay the loan amount anytime in a single shot or in part without paying
any prepayment charges in case of Bank of Baroda, but the Private bank charges a certain
percentage of interest for such facility and such has to be done in a single shot.
The time is friend of none. The time taken for the disbursement of loan is also of great
importance. Bank of Baroda disburses the loan in minimum of two days if all documents are
fully furnished which is lower compared to Axis Bank but ICICI Bank disburses the loan in a
The most important question which comes to the applicant’s mind at the time of taking loan
is about the mortgage that has to be pledged before the institute for availing such loan. The
Bank of Baroda calls for only the documents of loan Vehicle, such as REGISTRATION
CERTIFICATE of the vehicle, INSURANCE POLICY, and a Blank form signed by the
applicant for the transfer of OWNERSHIP. But Axis Bank other than such documents calls
The next thing which haunts the applicants mind is about the guarantor. Bank of Baroda
wants to be on the safer side so it calls for a guarantor just for formality as it is a part of its
norms. The Private Banks also calls for the guarantor but it is not mandatory.
The applicant may not be in the position to pay the EMI on time sometimes, for life is full of
uncertainties. There may be certain unexpected expense during the period, so he may defer
the payment of EMI. The institutes charge a delay fine for such delay payment. The penalty

Indian auto market has more than 35 financers that offer auto financing solutions to the
intended car buyers. Being one of the fastest growing automobile markets in the world, the
Indian automobile market has got so much of potential and hence a number of auto finance
companies have come up to tap the booming market. It can be added here that the passenger
vehicle market constitutes almost 80% of automobile sales. In 2008, the stock passenger car
was about 11 per 1,000 people. The production of passenger vehicle is further expected to go
up at a CAGR of about 10% from 2009-10 to 2012-13. So, sensing this market potential,
many financial companies in India have given special attention on auto financing.
During the 2000s, the auto finance in India was dominated by private banks, when Citibank
was the market leader. But its market share dropped from 27 per cent during 90s to less than
8 percent during early 2000. ICICI Bank became the new leader with almost 29.2 per cent
market share during 2003-04. The journey continued till 2008 when HDFC bank took the
lead. However, the current trend shows that the PSU banks like SBI, PNB, Bank of Baroda,
Bank of India, Canara Bank, Syndicate Bank and Union Bank etc. are leaving behind their
private sector counterparts in the Rs. 22,000 crore passenger car and 2-wheeler loan market.
The reason behind this is the fact that, private banks have been compelled to reduce their
exposure to the sector owing to increased delinquencies.

So here are a few things which might help you in choosing the right car-
financing                                                                             option:

The first thing you need to know, before availing for car loan, is the type of car you want and
see if it suits your estimated budget. Narrow your choice of cars, to two or three. Compare
rates of all banks and get their best rates. Also ask for recommended dealers for the car(s) of
your      choice     to    see   which          dealer    is     giving         you      the     best      deal.
You apply for a loan and you buy a car. You go to a bank and fill out some forms and they
disburse          your      check.          Sounds             simple           enough,          doesn't           it?
However, your application could be denied or cancelled, or you may get an offer at a high
interest rate if you have bad-credit history. All banks go through your financial history when
you apply for a loan. Different banks have different standards of judging a credit history. So
it is wise to clear up all old debts, if you have any, before you Apply for Car Loan. This will
help       you       get     your        loan        approved           at       lower         interest       rates.
You repay the loan in equated monthly installments (EMIs), comprising of principal amount
and the Interest Rate. The EMI depends upon the loan amount, the interest rate and the tenure
of                               the                                         loan.
Also don't just evaluate the deal based on monthly EMIs. Calculate how much you will be
paying over the tenure of the loan at EMI Calculator. This in turn is a function of Interest
rates.
The interest rate depends on the Flat Rate and Reducing Balance method. In the Flat Rate of
interest, the principal amount (on which interest calculations are made) remains same for the
entire tenure of the loan. The total interest is divided over the number of installments to
derive                               the                                      EMI.
Reducing Balance, means reducing the paid-up principal amount (on which interest
calculations are made) from the outstanding loan amount. The interest you pay is calculated
on                         outstanding                             principal                               balance.
Car loans typically don't require a guarantor but if your income does not meet the credit
criteria, then you will be required to have a guarantor for your loan. Guarantor can be your
spouse,      if      employed,         or        a       third      party            guarantee       will          do.
                                                  Page
                                                  43
Processing fees is a one-time charge taken for processing and legal paperwork. At the
beginning of the period, the bank requires you to pay 2-4 percent of the loan amount as
processing fees. For example, if you take Rs.5 lac at 15% for 5 years (60 EMIS) and charges
you 2 percent as processing fees, you are in effect paying an amount of Rs.10,000.
If you chose to pay up your entire money before the tenure, a Pre-payment penalty is charged.
So know about such penalties before-hand to avoid future misunderstanding between you and
the                                                                                      bank.
Also keep in mind that most banks offer you the option of pre-payment, but they do not give
the                       flexibility                      of                    part-payment.
You "have-to" insure your car. It is against the law to drive an uninsured car. You must get an
insurance policy for a year's duration, after which you have to renew it. The amount of
insurance is equal to the market value of the vehicle and not the book value of the vehicle.
The premium is added to the EMI paid for the loan tenure and you are insured for the amount
you have taken, incase something unexpected happens Assured amount will be given to the
bank        without        burdening         the       members          of     the     family.
So keep these few things in mind while financing your next car !You have reached the best
spot to get the best loan, for your car, from the best banks. Go, get it!!!!

The Indian customer has come a long way from purchasing to fulfilling their needs from
buying a car. Customers now grab everything that comes their way but they do their own
survey of optimum loans; same is the case with banks, and car loans. With innumerable
choices before him, the customer is indeed the king. It is therefore imperative that if a bank
has to succeed in the competitive world, it should be technological savvy, customer centric
progressive driven by highest standards of corporate governance and guided by sound ethical
values and above all should be cordial and should have personalize customer services.
There is scope of exploiting the vast middle income group by releasing loans with special

                                           46
The following suggestions are strongly recommended:
1. To broaden the customer base the vast middle income strata should be
fully exploited
2. Simplify the procedure, reduce service charges, and demand only the
basic essential proof.
3. Most banks are reluctant to advance loan to the service class e.g. lawyers,
police officers etc.. This aspect must be exploited.
  4. Adoption of flexible and more lenient penalty should the customer fail to deposit the
payment on time. The penalty should be on case to case basis rather than the same for the
entire customer base.
5. Restriction to be reduced to bare minimum for loan advances and for repayment. For e.g.
offer long-term repayment facilities and have no age restriction to choosing repayment.
6. The maximum age for repayment could be increase to 65-70 years of age.
Such facility will help grow fast retail segment of the bank.
 8. Service class to be exploited by offering special reduced rates and linking the repayment
from the source from where the pay-cheque to the employee is issued. This needs to undergo
special contract with government organisation to ensure implementation.

EMI
Loan repayments are usually in Equal Monthly Installments over the tenure of the loan. It
Under a floating rate loan, the interest rate on the loan varies from time to time
depending on the Prime Lending Rate fixed by the Reserve Bank. This change can
happen as frequently as one in six months. If the PLR falls, you benefit as the effective
interest rate on your remaining loan falls. However, your payments every month stay the
same. The Finance Company will refund some of your EMI cheques and effectively
compensates you by reducing the tenure of the loan. The reverse happens if the PLR
In the last 2-3 years the PLR has fallen as the Indian economy had slowed down and
demand for money was low. If you expect this trend to continue, you stand to benefit from
a floating rate loan. If interest rates begin to rise again, you can prepay your floating rate
loan and lock in to fixed rate loan. You must them choose a floating rate loan with no
repayment charges . However, if you do not want to speculate on interest rates and need a
stable loan to help planning the future, then go for a Fixed rate loan.
Processing Fee:
A onetime fee which is normally non-refundable and payable along with your initial loan
application.

Administrative Fee:
A onetime fee which is normally non-refundable and payable before your loan is
disbursed.
Commitment fees:
This interest is charged if you do not draw the sanctioned loan within a period of 6-9
months. The rate of interest is usually not applicable for such loan.
Prepayment charge:
Most Banking companies charge a fee for prepaying your loan before its full tenure is
over. This helps them plan their finances, at your expense. Your earning capacity will
normally increase with age and a prepayment fee can be a big cost. This fee also limits
your ability to refinance the loan if interest rates fall after a few years. The fee is normally in

Down payment:
Banking companies would normally give a loan up to 80- 85% of the value of the
property. The remaining amount would have to paid by the buyer (to the seller), as a
