Frequently asked questions

What is the on-road price of a car?

Ex-showroom price + RTO registration and road tax + insurance + accessories and other charges. In the example: ₹10 lakh + ₹1 lakh + ₹45,000 + ₹15,000 = ₹11.6 lakh.

What is the EMI on a car loan?

With ₹2 lakh down, the loan is ₹9.6 lakh. At 9% for 5 years the EMI is ₹19,928, and you pay ₹2.36 lakh of interest.

Should I take a 7-year car loan?

The EMI is lower — ₹15,446 — but the interest rises to ₹3.37 lakh, and the car loses value faster than you repay the loan.

How much does a bigger down payment help?

Paying ₹1 lakh more down cuts the EMI to ₹17,852 and saves ₹24,550 of interest.
