Frequently Asked Questions

What is a car loan EMI?
A car loan EMI (Equated Monthly Instalment) is a fixed monthly payment made to your auto financer until the vehicle loan is paid off. It includes both principal and interest components calculated on a monthly reducing balance.
How is car loan EMI calculated?
It uses the standard reducing balance formula E = P × r × (1+r)ⁿ / ((1+r)ⁿ - 1), where P is the sanctioned loan amount (On-Road Price minus Down Payment), r is the monthly interest rate, and n is the tenure in months.
What factors affect my car loan EMI?
Key determinants are vehicle on-road price, your down payment percentage, interest rate, and chosen tenure. A higher down payment or shorter tenure directly cuts your total interest expense.
Is it better to choose a shorter or longer tenure?
A shorter tenure (e.g. 3-5 years) lowers your total interest burden and protects against vehicle depreciation outpacing your loan balance. A longer tenure (up to 7 years) keeps monthly cash outflow smaller.
Can I make a part payment or prepay my car loan?
Yes. Under RBI guidelines, floating-rate auto loans to individual borrowers have zero foreclosure fees. Fixed-rate auto loans may involve a nominal fee (usually 2-4% of outstanding principal) after the initial lock-in period.
