Car Loan in a different city - Team-BHP

yenom · 28th March 2007, 12:20

Hi All,

I am a resident of Mumbai but working in Bangalore since the last couple of years.

Looking to buy a car for folks back home in Mumbai, so wanted to know if anyone has experience in taking a loan in city different from where they are currently working in.

Which banks do and don't offer such loans?

Any extra papers required as proof / collateral for obtaining the loan?

Any extra processing fees / different rates of interest charged?

Because an ICICI representative told me that RBI rules don't allow such loans to be disbursed!!!

Would really appreciate any and guidance.

Regards.

Why can't your folks take the car loan from Mumbai itself if you've a residence there@Bombay ?

Better to take the loan from SBI. And also use the search option wisely, you won't be disappointed.

Also, Stay away from ICICI.

.

There are no such RBI restrictions. You can take a car loan from anywhere as long as the Bank has no problem with verifying the purchase and the hypothecation is created in their favour.

Thanks to the interest rate hikes, car loans are now very expensive and there is a general slowdown (especially by banks like ICICI) in fresh sanctions.
