3 Smart Tips for Taking an Indian Car Loan
- Maintain the 20/4/10 Rule: Put at least 20% down payment, limit the loan tenure to 4 years, and keep total car expenses (EMI + fuel + insurance) under 10% of monthly income.
- Check Foreclosure Charges: Prefer floating rate loans from PSU banks which typically have zero pre-payment or foreclosure penalty.
- Avoid Depreciating Asset Over-Leverage: A new car loses 15-20% of its value the minute it leaves the showroom. Never stretch your finances on excessive tenure.
