You are right.

I purchased a car from CSD in 2016 and am looking forward to upgrade to another Car from CSD this year. Now the earlier rule was that minimum gap between two car purchases via CSD should be 4 years which was changed to 8 years by the Govt in the recent notification posted on this thread.

My question is , does this 8 year rule apply to the cars purchased post the notification of that order or is it applicable to vehicles purchased prior to the notice as well. Request inputs please.

The answer is available in #289 of this thread (image 2) - https://www.team-bhp.com/forum/india...ml#post4596417

It says "Last car purchased after 01 June 2011 - On completion of eight years from the date of last purchase"

Lots of changes introduced for buying cars from CSD since Jun 2019. Anyone here able to provide correct information, and list of cars now available in CSD? Very interested in creating a place for everyone to have updated information here instead of finding rudimentary information on google et al. Thx

All New City - 5th Generation is now available in the CSD. Don’t have information about the price, just that the model has been introduced in the CSD.

Revised policy for cost and periodicity for purchase of cars through CSD

2. Special sanctions on engine capacity as covered in post #69 of this thread will continue to be in force.

My dad is an ex-serviceman and I was trying to buy a car through CSD. I completely agree with you regarding the contradicting / outdated information all over internet. If you are planning to create one place with all details, kindly include this attachment. This has the list of all items with their price from CSD - Cars / bikes (also Washing Machines & TVs. lol:)

This list is from the CSD store manager in my native (Madurai, Tamil Nadu) and the prices are currently valid.

CSD AFD RATES AS ON 20 AUG 2020.pdf

Thank you sir. That is probably the most updated list I have seen. I do think creating a new post on all the relevant links is the need of the hour agree:

The price keeps changing very often. So do these rules; though not as frequently as the prices. Prices also change from place to place. Creating a new thread, or even collating all information here will only lead to spam the forum, for the collated data will have only a very short life time comparatively.

The best way to go about purchasing a car is through your local dealer. He will have the latest price list and will directly connect you to the sales rep who deals with CSD purchases.

To re-iterate:- The purpose of this thread was not to publish price list. I personally am against that. The purpose of the thread was to elucidate the procedure for purchase.
That said, the rules have changed a lot from the time this thread was initially penned. All rule amendments have also been updated in the thread, inlcuding the latest one w.e.f 01 Nov 20.

Agree totally.

Does financing from private bank eligible for the purchase through CSD or is it only applicable to loans from nationalised banks?? Uncle is an ex-servicemen aged 76 , so nationalised banks will not finance the purchase of a car. Only private banks are providing loans without age limit. Please help

Doesn't matter. Any bank, public or private, may be utilised for financing the purchase.

Thanks for the details. However, one doubt.
What if the vehicle is not readily available? Can we not raise a PO for a vehicle which runs into waiting periods?

In that case, you need to wait until the vehicle gets allotted as you need the VIN and related details while raising a PO. I would suggest you to reach out to your local dealer for better clarity on this.

Thanks. I am not looking at buying a car now. I was just clarifying a doubt that cropped up when I read your update.
