Automobile Loans
We are explaining some of the popular loan schemes.
Select a scheme that suits you best.
- Margin
Money Scheme:
Under this scheme, you are required to pay margin
money of at least 10% of the total loan amount,
along with one EMI. The balance amount is paid
through post-dated cheques, which are issued for
the balance EMI's covering the remaining period.
With a repayment term of one to five years (in
some cases seven), the Margin Money Scheme is the
most sought after. One of the major advantages of
this scheme is that it has lowest EMI to be paid,
compared to other schemes for the same amount of
loan.
- Advance
Equated Monthly Instalment Scheme:
This scheme offers 100% loan. You have to pay up
to five EMIs in advance and the balance is paid
through post-dated cheques covering the remaining
period of the loan. One of the downsides of this
scheme is that though it offers 100% finance, you
need to pay five to nine installments up front.
Besides, you go on to pay a higher EMI amount
because the interest is charged on the entire loan
amount.
- Security
Deposit Scheme:
Under this scheme you are required to deposit a
specified sum as security deposit against the
amount provided as the loan. This security deposit
is refundable on completion of the full period of
the loan. You will receive interest on the
deposit, which in most cases is lower than that
charged to you on the loan amount. The EMI under
this scheme is higher than the EMIs under the
above two schemes. The security deposit ranging
from 10-30% of the total is returned after the
loan period. The deposit also earns a simple or
compound interest, the tenure lasting for two to
five years.
- Hire
Purchase Scheme:
This is an agreement under which the car is let on
hire and under which the hirer has an option to
purchase the car in accordance with the terms of
the agreement. Hire Purchase agreement is mostly
offered by Non Banking Finance Companies. Broadly
this option works similar to the loan option.
NBFCs usually charge an amount as low as One
Rupee, called Option money, on payment of which
the car passes on to the hirer. The NBFC's have
taken to this option, as they are not encouraged
to give loans, which is a Banks privilege.
- Lease
Financing Purchase:
Lease is a contract between the owner of an asset
(the Lessor) and its user (the Lessee) for the
hire of that asset. The ownership rests with the
lessor while the right to use the asset (car) is
given to the lessee for an agreed period of time
in return for periodic rental payments by the
lessee to the lessor. Lease agreements are offered
by NBFC's and are mostly availed by Corporates
looking at it mainly from tax saving angle.
