Presently, a common man can fulfill his dreams of purchasing a car by getting a
vehicle loan.
According to yo requirements and financial situations, you can get vehicle loans from
a variety of auto financing
Services such as Mahindra Finance, Tata Finance, Bajaj Finance and State Bank of
India loans
For example, if you are thinking about financing options with SBI, you must first
give your information regarding the type of loan to the company. The SBI associates
will then get in touch with you to assist with the loan eligibility amount and the
different offers and schemes available with their bank. These days, almost everyone
has the desire to buy a vehicle which best suits them according to their requirements.
Vehicle loans have many benefits. Some of the benefits for applying for vehicle
financing loans in India are given below:
1. People using a vehicle for their business purpose can claim part of the interest and
depreciation charges as expenses against taxable income.
3. If you’re paying fixed payments, the terms of the agreement allow for more
accurate budgeting and protect you against any interest rate fluctuations.
A new vehicle loan is taken out to purchase new vehicles generally from dealerships.
As citizens of India are getting higher pay packages, many salaried and self-employed
individuals are looking to get their dream vehicle. There are many banks which
provide new vehicle loans with low vehicle loan rates in India.
Used vehicle loans are taken by the borrower to purchase a used car from either a
second hand vehicle dealer or an individual seller. There are a number of lending
institutions which provide used vehicle loans in India. Sometimes people can’t afford
to buy a new vehicle and in such cases, going for a used vehicle is the best option.
Another vehicle loan option you have is to borrow money and use the vehicle you
purchase as loan security. These types of loans basically mean that the lender will be
able to claim the vehicle if you cannot pay them back. But this type of loan is
convenient if you need a new vehicle right away and have no funds for a deposit.

Common Myths about Car Loans:
Understanding the myths and facts about vehicle loans is crucial for making informed
financial decisions.
Many people believe that they can apply for a car loan only for brand new vehicles.
This is not entirely true. Second-hand cars can help you save a lot of money - there is
an entire industry in India that thrives on this very concept.
There are many used car showrooms and dealerships across the country that will
happily finance your car at attractive interest rates.
The only thing you need to keep in mind is the quality of the car and reputation of the
party you are dealing with. After all, you don’t want to be stuck with a car that breaks
down every now and then
You must have received plenty of emails and messages stating that you are eligible
for a car loan at so-and-so interest rate. At times, it can be quite tempting to cave into
these messages and just apply for a car loan! But before you do that, you should ask
yourself if you really need a car or, more importantly, can you afford one.
This line of questioning will always keep you on your toes and prevent you from
making costly mistakes when it comes to vehicle financing.
A common misconception about car loans is that you need to make a huge payment
upfront before you can avail the loan amount. While this is true - you do need to
make a down payment, the amount need not be necessarily high. With most banks
and dealerships financing up to 85% of the loan amount, you need to pay only 15%.
So, if you are buying a car worth Rs.5,00,000, you need to pay only Rs.75,000.
However, if you can make a large down payment up front, you are likely to get a
better deal.
Banks offers a wide range of loan options to accommodate different types of vehicles,
enabling entrepreneurs and individuals to pursue their business and personal
transportation goals.
5. Banks have rigid rules for vehicle loans
Banks and NBFCs now-a-days are extremely customer friendly. They can bend some
of their loan rules if you have a strong credit score and right documents with your
application.
6. : You can’t get a car if you don’t have strong credit score
Having a good credit score is one of the requirements to get a vehicle loan. The
required credit score for most banks and NBFCs to get a car loan is around 750. But
many banks and NBFCs offer car loan to those with lower credit score depending
upon rest of their profile.
So you can avail a car loan even if you don’t have such strong credit score. The
policy varies from bank to bank.
The interest rates for the SBI Car Loan depend on various factors, such as:
Age of the vehicle: SBI may charge a higher interest rate for used cars than for new
ones because of the higher risk involved with older vehicles.
Loan amount and tenure: The interest rate on a car loan may vary depending on the
amount of the loan and the tenure. Generally, a longer loan tenure will attract higher
interest rates.
Individual's credit score: The interest rate on a car loan also depends on the
borrower's credit score. A high credit score may lead to lower interest rates.
Income and employment stability: SBI may also consider the borrower's income
and employment stability before deciding on the interest rate. Stable employment and
higher income may result in a lower interest rate.
Let's weigh the pros and cons before taking out a car loan.
• Some advantages of taking out an SBI Car Loan include the following:
• Helps you purchase your dream car without affecting your savings
• Easy repayment options with no pre-payment charges
• Competitive interest rates
• Helps you to build your credit score
