Choosing Tenure for Auto Financing
Cars are depreciating assets, making tenure selection critical: - 3-Year Tenure: Higher EMI (₹15,899 at 9%) clears debt quickly with only ₹72,393 interest. - 5-Year Tenure: Balanced EMI (₹10,379) with ₹1,22,751 total interest. - 7-Year Tenure: Lower monthly payment (₹8,054), but interest climbs to ₹1,76,573. Longer tenures risk negative equity if the car depreciates faster than principal reduction.
Down Payment vs Loan Amount
Increasing your initial down payment reduces both interest charges and processing fees. Paying an extra ₹50,000 upfront reduces your 5-year monthly installment by over ₹1,000 and cuts interest by more than ₹12,000.

The monthly EMI is ₹10,379. Total interest payable across 60 months is ₹1,22,751, bringing total loan repayment to ₹6,22,751.
Can I prepay a car loan early without penalty?

Do car loans use fixed or reducing interest rates?
Most organized auto financiers in India use reducing-balance interest calculations. Avoid flat-rate financing offers, as a 5% flat rate is roughly equivalent to a 9% to 10% reducing-balance rate.
