Seems pretty good because the general rate seems to 12-13% for cars these days.
Are there any other charges.
Is it fixed or floating?

Thats a good rate. I'm also fishing, so far. Have asked rates from other banks, guess I will have more updates tomorrow.

HDFC = 12.75% Floating

Why dont you go for a central bank or Bank of Baroda

I am taking a "fixed" interest loan and interest rate is 10.5% only from Central bank

Atleast you will have the peace of mind that this interest rate will be constant throughtout the tenure.

"Fixed" rate always confuse me, doesn't it mean that you will pay interest for the whole amount rather than the diminished principle amount?

Isn't floating = diminishing loans?

If so fixed 10.5% is way too high, what is your EMI per lac?

musicvj · 31st January 2009, 11:42

Got a call from Reliance Finance.

Diminishing 100% finance Interest rate = 11.75

Guess 100% finance is on the ex showroom price? Does anyone know if it can be OTR 100% finance as well lol

Musicvj:

As per my understanding:

Fixed Rate: A fixed rate of interest based on the principal amount your are borrowing. This rate will stay fixed during the entire tenure period of the loan. Thus the EMI will stay fixed.

FLoating Rate: A rate of interest that changes with the vagaries of the economic conditions that surround us.

If you're a gambler, go in for the floating rate. If you are totally risk averse, go for the fixed rate.

The concept you are talking about above is totally different and has nothing to do with fixed or floating interest rates.

HappyWheels · 31st January 2009, 12:14

The advice that I would give to anyone asking me about the loan process is to

- check the processing fee
- check the monthly payment
- check the tenure

With these facts calculate how much you end up paying for the loan you are taking. (I guess this is only for fixed interest charges).

This was, one does not get confused with all this diminishing principle and all the other jargon's these agents thrown in. Infact, when I was looking out for a loan, on 2005, I found that I payout lesser when I go with ICICI than with one other bank even though ICICI mentions a higher interest rate!

Most private banks will have processing charges built into the Advance EMI i.e. although the processing agent might say its Advance EMI, it consist of 2 parts processing charges + principal amount. For eg. if you pay 1 advance EMI of 10k, 6K will be deducted as charges (credit facility origination charges) and 4k as principal from the your loan amount.

Credit facility origination charges can go as high as 65-70% of your EMI.

If in doubt, check from the bank directly and not the agents.

Whats hdfc bank's rate of interest after all the recent rate cuts? Has Bank of Baroda's rate gone down from 10.5? I think thats the best one available as on date, right?

hdi_pro · 4th May 2009, 20:32

My Loan details with Central bank is as follows

Loan -10.5%(Floating rate
Prepossing fees - 2000
No Advanced EMI

Thanks
hdi.

nvldvr · 4th May 2009, 20:53

when did you take this loan? 10.5 % doesnt seem to be the current rate of interest.

I think it is a very decent rate. I took a loan from HDFC as a preferred customer 2 months ago and I am getting 11.25% for a 3 year tenure. You might consider taking an insurance policy for around Rs. 3000 which will protect you against inability to pay emi in case of any of several reasons. Right now floating rate is recommended as interest rates are not expected to go up for the next 2 years - will certainly go down a bit.

Cheers

nvldvr · 5th May 2009, 10:59

Is this 3000 an annual premium? and how does this insurance on loan work?
