Factors affecting Punjab National Bank Car Loan Interest Rates

There are numerous factors that have an impact on the interest rates for a Punjab National Bank Car Loan and some of them are listed below: 

  1. Net Income: The minimum net income stipulated by the bank is Rs.20,000 per month. In order to meet this requirement, customers can also include the salary of their parent, spouse, or children who are earning to their income. 

However, only one individual's income can be taken and this individual will be the co-borrower. This requirement is mandated so that banks are assured of the customer's ability to repay their loan. If customers do not meet this requirement then their loan might get rejected, if not the rate of interest charged will be very high. 

  1. Loan Tenure: Banks offer tenures ranging generally from 12 months to 84 months. Longer tenures are opted by most applicants as the EMI amount to be paid each month is less. 

However, this also results in the customer paying a lot more as the interest. Longer tenures are also sometimes seen to be financially risky by the banks. Hence shorter tenures are advised. 

  1. Debt-to-income Ratio: Customers who have previously availed loans or are currently in the process of repaying other loans are believed to constitute a higher financial risk by the bank. This is because the customer's income is already being used to repay other loans and if these repayments are not made on time then there is a chance that banks would not be very eager to provide new loans to them. 
  1. CIBIL Scores: Provided by the Credit Information Bureau of India Limited, these scores summarize a person's prior debts, payments, and loans and thereby determine the eligibility of the customer. Banks and financial institutions prefer providing loans to those who have a good CIBIL score. 

If a customer has a low score, then banks are automatically more wary of providing them with loans as there is a reduced chance of them repaying loans on time with the interest amount. Hence, potential customers are advised to have a good CIBIL score so as to avail loans more easily. 

  1. Relationship with the lender: A previously established relationship with the bank is an added benefit. Punjab National Bank offers additional concessions and benefits for those who already have a working relationship with the bank.
