You must estimate the second-hand car loan EMI to determine if the financing solution is suited to your budget. Here’s the standard EMI calculation formula:
EMI = [P x r x \((1+r)^{n}\)] / [\((1+r)^{n}-1\)]
where,
P is the principal loan amount
R is the monthly interest rate
n is the loan tenure in months
Your second-hand car finance EMI is affected in different ways by the loan amount, interest rate, and loan tenure. If the loan amount is large, the EMI amount will also be higher. Similarly, if the interest rate is high, the EMI amount will rise. In the case of loan tenure, if the repayment period is long, the EMI will reduce accordingly, whereas if the period is short, the EMI will increase.
The fastest and most convenient way to calculate used car finance EMI is a user-friendly online EMI calculator. It eliminates the chances of manual error and guarantees accuracy.

At Tata Capital, the minimum and maximum amounts for used car loans are Rs. 1 lakh and Rs. 50 lakhs, respectively. The actual amount sanctioned is based on the car’s valuation and the loan-to-value (LTV) ratio, which is typically lower for used car loans as compared to new car loans.
At Tata Capital, the minimum and maximum loan tenures allowed for a used car loan are 12 months and 72 months, respectively. You can select an appropriate loan tenure as per your repayment capability. Opting for a longer tenure may lower your EMI amount, but increases the interest outgo, and vice versa.
Different lenders have different eligibility criteria for used car loans, particularly regarding the vehicle’s age. Usually, lenders provide financing for vehicles up to 10 years old (at the time of loan application).

With the balance transfer facility, you can transfer your existing used car loan balance to Tata Capital and enjoy a lower interest rate, flexible tenure, multiple repayment options, and several other benefits. To avail of this facility, you can get in touch with our representative, and they will guide you through the entire process.
A used car loan EMI calculator is an online tool that helps evaluate the EMIs for your used car loan in advance. You can use it to plan your repayments better and select an appropriate loan amount and tenure so that your EMIs remain affordable.
Yes. You can apply for a used car loan with a co-applicant, who can be your parent, spouse, sibling, or son/daughter. Adding a co-applicant improves your loan eligibility and thus enhances the chances of approval.
Yes. While not always mandatory, making a down payment can reduce your EMI amount and interest outgo. Sometimes, a down payment may be required for higher LTV or older cars. However, with 100% financing from Tata Capital, you can also buy a second-hand car with zero down payment.
Yes. You can pre-pay or foreclose your used car loan anytime after you’ve paid your first EMI. However, you may incur foreclosure charges as mentioned below:
6% of the principal outstanding amount if foreclosed within 12 months of disbursement
5% of the principal outstanding amount if foreclosed after 12 months of disbursement
After you apply for a used car loan, we assign a valuator to determine the valuation of the pre-owned car you’re willing to purchase. The valuator takes into account several factors to determine this valuation. These typically include the make and model of the car, year, mileage, present condition, and market demand.

No. Used car loans are typically available for private cars. To purchase a commercial vehicle, you can avail of a commercial vehicle loan with Tata Capital. It allows you to finance the purchase of a new or used commercial vehicle, including a truck, bus, car, pick-up van, etc.
Your CIBIL score plays a crucial role in determining the approval of your used car loan application. Lenders typically approve loan applications from borrowers with higher CIBIL scores, preferably 700 or more. An excellent CIBIL score can also fetch you a better interest rate and more favorable loan terms.
The eligibility criteria for a used car loan may vary from one lending institution to another. Generally, the following cars are not eligible for loans:
Cars with commercial or yellow number plates
Private cars that are more than 10 years old
Cars with more than two previous owners
Cars with pending legal issues
Cars with major accidental histories
Cars from unapproved or unauthorized dealers
Once your used car loan application is approved, you can initiate the formal proceedings to obtain your vehicle. They may include the following steps:
1. Sign the loan agreement letter.
2. The loan amount is disbursed to the dealer or seller.
3. A new RC is prepared in the buyer’s name with a hypothecation endorsement.
4. Your vehicle is ready for delivery.
No. Generally, a guarantor or collateral is not required to apply for a used car loan, since the car itself serves as collateral. But in case you do not meet the lender’s eligibility criteria or norms, you may need a guarantor for loan approval. A guarantor is an individual who pledges the responsibility to repay the loan amount if the primary borrower defaults.
Hypothecation is a legal agreement where a vehicle is registered in the name of the borrower, but the lender or financier has a legal claim on it until the loan is fully repaid. It means that the lender can seize the vehicle if the borrower fails to repay the loan amount.
Yes. Your used car will be hypothecated to Tata Capital if you’ve purchased it on a loan. But once you have paid your last EMI, you will get an NOC from us, using which you can remove the hypothecation from your vehicle’s RC.
With Tata Capital, you have the following options to repay your used car loan:
Direct debit from your bank account
Net Banking, debit/credit card, or UPI
Cheque, demand draft, or pay order
You can select a suitable payment option as per your convenience. You can also opt for the structured EMI facility, wherein you can pay lower EMIs initially and gradually increase them over the loan tenure.
Yes, many Indian banks and NBFCs offer second-hand car loans to NRIs. However, they must meet specific eligibility criteria, such as submitting valid income proof and NRI status documents, and adding an Indian co-applicant or guarantor.
Loan refinancing on used cars means replacing your existing car loan with a new one that offers better interest rates or flexible repayment terms. The facility helps reduce the EMI burden or the overall loan cost.
If you miss EMI payments on your used auto car loan, you are liable to pay penalties. Your interest burden can also increase, leaving a negative impact on your credit score. Defaulting repeatedly can also result in vehicle repossession by the lender.
Many lenders avoid financing cars older than 10 years due to depreciation and resale risks. Therefore, it is challenging to get a loan for a 10-year-old car. You may have to fulfill stricter eligibility criteria and agree to higher interest rates or limited tenure loans.
