Many banks offer car loans to their NRI customers. However, most banks make it a mandate to have an Indian guarantor for NRIs while applying for a car loan. NRIs can make the repayment through NRE/NRO bank account or through easy remittances. An NRI or a PIO (People of Indian Origin) should hold a valid Indian passport for availing a car loan. Car loan rates in India varies from bank to bank.
The eligibility for an NRI car loan includes criteria such as both the applicant and guarantor should be between 21-65 years, the loan amount must be repaid before the guarantor reaches 65 years of age, the applicant should be physically fit and hold a driving license, etc. There is a minimum benchmark for net monthly income also which differs from bank to bank. The NRI Car loan can be availed for buying a new car, used car and new two wheelers. The normal reimbursements will begin within 1 month of the purchase of the car. Usually, the interest rate for NRI car loans is the same as other normal car loans in the country. Some banks fund 100% of the ex-showroom price and provide a tenure up to 60 months for repayment of the loan based on the income details furnished. Banks often furnish the eligibility criteria, interest rates and other documents required on their website. They also provide the option to calculate EMI through the
Car Loan EMI calculator which is also available on the website.
The features and benefits of the loan, income proof, documents required, repayment options, interest rate, other terms, and conditions are available on the website. NRI car loans also get processed at a faster rate when compared to other loans that are available in the market. Ultimately, owning a four-wheeler is a dream for everyone even if you are not in India, your family can avail the comfort and luxury of a good vehicle, without the hassles of a long drawn out paperwork.
