Frequently asked questions
What tenure is common for car loans in India?
Most car loans are between 3 and 7 years. Longer tenure means lower EMI but higher total interest.
Is down payment included in EMI calculation?
Enter only the loan amount after down payment. EMI is calculated on the financed portion.
Are used car loan rates higher?
Yes. Used car loans typically carry 1–2% higher rates than new car loans.
Does EMI include road tax and insurance?
Only if these are bundled into the loan. Most buyers finance on-road price — enter the net loan disbursed.
Can I prepay a car loan?
Most lenders allow prepayment with or without penalty after 6–12 months. Prepayment reduces total interest but is not modelled here.
What credit score is needed for car loans?
A CIBIL score above 750 generally helps secure better rates. EMI calculation does not depend on credit score.
