amount to the lender (often banks) as and when required.
Individuals can choose a car from a list of models and manufacturers in India according to their

Auto loans have many benefits. Some of the benefits for applying for car financing loans in India
are given below:
1. People using a car for their business purpose can claim part of the interest and
depreciation charges as expenses against taxable income.
There are several different types of auto loans so that every individual will find at least one auto
loan that is able to meet their requirements.
A new car loan is taken out to purchase new vehicles generally from dealerships. As citizens of
India are getting higher pay packages, many salaried and self-employed individuals are looking
to get their dream car.
Many individuals have the cash in hand and they prefer to purchase a new car on the spot. This
however does not apply to the majority of those falling under this category. Most people will
contact banks for information about their auto loans and look to proceed from there. At
BankandFinance.com, we provide you with this information along with the lowest lending
interest rate from various auto loans providers such as Bajaj Finance, Tata and Mahindra.
There are many banks which provide new car loans with low car loan rates in India. As the
financial market fluctuates in India, there may be an increase in the lending interest rate for new
car loans. Because of this situation, be careful when it comes to getting an auto loan and plan
according to your financial situations and position. Use our loans calculator to calculate the
amount which you will need to pay every month.
Used auto loans are taken by the borrower to purchase a used car from either a second hand car
dealer or an individual seller. There are a number of lending institutions which provide used car
loans in India. Before going for a car loan, check the various offers and schemes from Bajaj
Finance and other providers.
Sometimes people can’t afford to buy a new car and in such cases, going for a used car is the
best option. The amount of money that you can afford per month should also be taken into
consideration in order to take the right decision for auto loans from top banks and lenders such as
ICICI, AXIS, HDFC, SBI and Bajaj Finance.
To get used auto loans, banks usually charge a high lending interest rate. It’s always good to
check with banks about the lending interest rate because buying a used car in India will definitely
be cheaper than purchasing a new car. The depreciation of used cars is always less than that of a
new car. In most cases the owner of a car will apply for auto insurance for the used car and the
cost of insurance will be lower. Get car loan quotes instantly by filling in your personal details in

c) The State of Lending in America & its Impact on U.S. Households by Delvin Davis
(2012):
According to Delvin Davis, automobiles are one of the largest purchases American households
will make, only behind the purchase of a home. For most households car ownership is not a
luxury but a prerequisite to economic opportunity. Car ownership affects where people can live
and significantly expands Americans’ options for jobs. As a result, both the affordability and
sustainability of auto financing are central concerns for most American families. As noted in
America’s Household Balance Sheet, in the last decade deleveraging of auto loans began as early
as 2005. Many households relied on home equity to finance car purchases, and as that market
disappeared, those families chose not to purchase a car at all or purchased cheaper vehicles.
Households responded to deteriorating income situations by buying used cars instead of new
ones and holding onto their cars for longer periods of time. These choices, however, have made
families who did enter the market even more vulnerable to abusive auto lending practices as the
pressure to increase revenue per sale grew.

CHAPTER-5
FINDINGS
5.1 FINDINGS
1. From the analysis done we have come to know that the majority of the respondents prefer
using motor vehicle of Hyundai and Maruti Suzuki which are comparatively cheaper in
the market.
2. As per the study, mostly respondents prefer to take loan from public car financing
companies like SBI and secondly they prefer HDFC which is private finance company.
3. Lower interest rate, is the most important economical parameter which can influence the
buyer (borrower) choice or in another words decision for opting for banks.
Findings extracted from data and survey shows that public sector banks charges low
interest rate as compared to private sector banks.
4. The time period for processing and sanction of loan is important non economical
parameters in choosing banks for car loan. Factors like urgency of loan, proper
documentation and verification plays crucial role.
The study through survey shows that in private sector banks the process of loans is fast,
efficient & less rigorous as compared to public sector banks.
5. Credibility of bank plays a crucial role in psychology of the borrowers. Traditionally,
public sector banks are believed to be more credible than private sector banks by the
masses.
The factors like more hidden cost & low processing efficiency in loan sanction.
6. Consumers are aware enough and they know that low interest rate is not the only
economical parameter which adds upto their total return. Private sector banks as per as
study shows that they have more hidden cost as compared to public sector banks.
7. Penalty rates can influence the buyer’s choice towards financing agency. In case of
uncertainty like delaying in monthly installment of the loan private sector banks charges
more penalties as compared to public sector banks.
CHAPTER-6
CONCLUSION
CONCLUSION
In my 60 days study on the car loan and the comparison between public and private car finance
companies within the Jorhat city, I conclude the following.
There are different commercial banks who supplies car loan like SBI, HDFC, IDBI, Allahabad
Bank etc. different banks have different Rate of Interest. Some of those are Public banks and
some are private banks. Majority of the respondents prefer using motor vehicle of Hyundai and
Maruti Suzuki which are comparatively cheaper in the market.
The respondents feel that government financier’s charges low interest rate whereas private
financiers charges high interest rate. So on that notes they prefer government banks to take loan.
But on the other hand, government financiers are slow while processing of loan whereas private
financiers are faster loan processor so people who have no issue with the interest rate but need
the process to be faster, they will prefer private financiers to apply loan. Factors like urgency of
loan, proper documentation and verification plays crucial role.
Consumers think that government financiers are more credible in comparison to private
financiers. The factors like more hidden cost & low processing efficiency in loan sanction. The
government financiers have less hidden cost as compared to private financiers. Hidden cost can
be the beyond estimated cost.
The private financiers have lower fees as compared to government financiers. Lower fees can be
the processing fees, penalty etc. Penalty rates can influence the buyer’s choice towards financing
agency.
