With the Covid-induced lockdowns easing, many of us may be looking forward to going back to schools and offices. Chintan Gandhi and his children are. While the family is used to getting everything from groceries to clothes and movies online, they
know they cannot avoid regular travel to school or office. But they feel that it would be safer if they have their car, rather than depend on public transport. Hiring an autorickshaw or a taxi every day, to and fro, is not feasible and may
prove costly in the long run. Travelling in one's car also ensures that you have higher control of safety measures. It helps in maintaining social distancing and avoids contact with potential infections. It is also handy in case of a medical
emergency.
Today, cars are available for all budgets, with several models to choose from in the Rs. 3-5 lakh bracket. Getting a car loan is very easy right now, and lenders offering them at attractive interest rates.
Benefits of taking a car loan
- Attractive interest rates: Car loan interest rates are at attractive levels now. By taking a car loan Chintan can buy his family’s dream car without
too much pressure on his finances.
- Get up to 100% funding: Banks like Axis Bank offer up to 100% on-road funding for your car. This means Chintan could get the full amount for the car as a loan without paying anything from his pocket.
- Pay at your convenience: With new car loan tenures extending for as long as seven years, as in the case of Axis Bank, Chintan can repay at his convenience. This way he can ensure that the EMI is affordable and will not be
a burden on his monthly budget.
