Car ownership is a pivotal aspect of modern life, providing convenience, flexibility, and independence. Whether for commuting, family needs, or personal enjoyment, having a reliable vehicle is often essential. While the upfront cost of purchasing a car can be daunting, car loans play a crucial role in making this dream attainable. Car loans offer a financial bridge, allowing individuals to spread the cost over a manageable period, making car ownership accessible to a broader audience. To secure a car loan, lenders typically require a few key elements. These include a stable income, a good credit score, proof of identity and residence, and details about the vehicle being financed. Meeting these requirements enables individuals to navigate the car loan application process smoothly, turning the dream of car ownership into a tangible reality.

Eligibility requirements

Bajaj Finance offers two types of car loans – used car loans and new car finance. While used car loans help you to purchase a second-hand vehicle, new car finance comes in handy to finance your new car purchase. Both these car loans primarily require you to have a high credit score and meet the basic income criteria to qualify for a loan. However, based on the car loan you choose the eligibility criteria might differ slightly.

New car finance eligibility criteria

Bajaj Finserv New Car Finance comes with easy-to-meet eligibility criteria. You can qualify for a loan by fulfilling these simple-to-meet eligibility criteria.

You should have a minimum monthly salary of Rs. 25,000 if you are a salaried individual. However, if you are a self-employed individual, you should submit an ITR proof of the past 2 years.

Used car loan eligibility criteria

Applying for a used car loan requires you to meet certain eligibility criteria.
