Common questions for all Car Loans

All Car Loans

Do I need to pledge anything or give collateral to get a car loan?

No, there’s no need for any collateral. You will only need you to hypothecate the car in our name. An endorsement will have to be made in the Registration Certificate (RC) book of the vehicle. This will be cancelled after you repay the loan.

How long can the tenure of my loan be?

Usually the tenure of an Auto Loan is 3 to 7 years. The tenure also depends on the type of car you wish to purchase. If it is a super premium car the tenure is restricted to 3 years only. In addition, the higher your tenure is the lower your EMI will be, but the total interest outflow is higher.

What are the charges I have to pay to change the mode of repayment/ account for my loan?

A service charge of Rs. 500.00 is applicable to swap to the ECS or PDC facility. You can pay a separate cheque / DD for Rs. 500.00 favouring your HDFC Bank Ltd. Loan Account Number for the required charges.

What documents do I need to submit after the loan amount is disbursed?

You can keep the original car documents, registration certificate, insurance policy and tax papers with you; but you need to submit photocopies of these documents to the bank.

What happens if the car meets with an accident?

In the event of an accident, the first step is to inform the insurance company. The company then sends a surveyor to assess the extent of damages to the car. Your claim is then processed and paid directly to us, unless you have taken an NOC from the bank in which case the payment will be made by the insurance company in your favour. The bank normally gives you an NOC if you are regular in your payments. In case of a complete loss, the bank will receive the payment directly from the insurance company.

What will be done with the post-dated cheques if I request to change the mode of repayment/ account for my loan?

Post-dated cheques / security cheques submitted earlier will be dispatched to your mailing address within 15 days, provided the revised instructions are verified and found to be in order.

Can I get finance for insurance and registration?

How much loan can I get?

The amount of the loan you can get depends on:

  • The cost of the vehicle

Can I sell my car before I repay my loan?

It will take 25 working days to activate the revised instructions. In case your next instalment falls due prior to the 25 day period, instructions already lodged with us will be presented for payment.
