When you take a car loan, you are provided with funds to purchase the vehicle you like. In the case of most term loans, you are charged interest on the borrowed amount for the duration of the loan tenure. This amount and the interest component of your loan is what makes up your equated monthly instalments (EMIs). Bajaj Finance offers new car loans for convenient durations of 12 months to 96 months.
Apart from term loans, you can also choose one of two Flexi variants to make your loan more affordable. These are Flexi Term and Flexi Hybrid Loans. These can help you add a greater layer of flexibility to manage your loan.
Your eligibility for new car finance depends on several factors, including your credit score, income, employment history, debt-to-income ratio, and the value of the vehicle you intend to purchase.
Usually, almost anyone can apply for a new car loan – Bajaj Finance offers financing to Indian nationals between the age of 18 years to 80 years with a CIBIL Score of 720 or higher.

The following factors determine your new car finance EMIs:
- Loan amount: The amount of the loan directly affects the monthly payments. As the loan amount increases, so will your monthly instalments.
- Tenure: The loan tenure is the period over which the borrowed amount is repaid and is inversely related to EMIs. A longer tenure reduces the monthly instalments, whereas a shorter tenure results in higher EMIs.
- Rate of interest: The interest rate represents the percentage that lenders charge on the borrowed amount as interest. When the interest rate is higher, it results in increased EMIs, whereas a lower interest rate leads to reduced EMIs.
You can calculate the estimated EMI amount for your desired loan using our New Car Finance EMI Calculator. The interest rate for new car finance is determined by your lender and considers factors like your credit history, loan amount, and tenure. Once you have obtained the interest rate for your loan amount and tenure, you can use the New Car Finance EMI Calculator to compute your monthly instalments.

Consider the following steps to reduce your EMIs for new car finance:
