Wide spread in rates

 

Public and private banks: Public-sector lenders offer the most competitive rates (around 7.6–8  per cent), while many private banks are well into the 9  per cent or above territory.

 

Borrower profile matters: Your credit history, income, tenure of employment and overall debt-to-income ratio heavily influence the rate you’ll be quoted

 

Processing fee: Some banks are using fee waivers and concessions, for example, zero processing fee till end-2025 at certain public-sector banks.

 

Short-term offers: Many of the best deals are part of festival-season or limited-time campaigns and may not extend indefinitely.

 

What this means for prospective car-buyers

 

If you secure the lowest rate (7.6 per cent), the monthly burden of a Rs 5 lakh loan over five years is just Rs 10,000

 

Don’t assume the quoted “from” rate will apply to you. Always check your eligibility and whether extra costs (processing fee, tenure, and down payment) change the effective cost.

 

If you are dealing with a private-sector bank or have a less-than-ideal credit profile, expect rates closer to 9–10  per cent or more; factor that into your budget.

 

Alongside the interest rate, always compare the “all-in” cost: processing fee, possibility of foreclosure/part-payment charges, and other hidden burdens.

 

Timing matters: If a special offer is flagged “till December 2025” or similar, don’t delay beyond what might be a promo window.
