What is Auto Loan?

An auto loan helps you finance a new or used vehicle, which typically serves as security. Approval considers your income, credit profile and the vehicle's value. New cars get lower rates than used ones, and many lenders finance up to 85–100% of the on-road price.

Who it may suit

  • Salaried and self-employed individuals buying a vehicle
  • New or pre-owned car and two-wheeler buyers
  • Those preferring EMIs over a large upfront payment

Documents you'll typically need

  • KYC — PAN & Aadhaar / address proof
  • Income proof (salary slips / ITR)
  • Bank statements
  • Vehicle quotation / proforma invoice

Common reasons for delay or rejection

  • Low credit score or high existing EMIs
  • Incomplete income or vehicle documents
  • Vehicle valuation issues (for used vehicles)

FAQ

Auto Loan questions

Can I finance a used vehicle?

How much of the cost is financed?
Lenders fund a portion of the on-road price (often 85–100% for new cars); the rest is your down payment.
